Ähnlich wie die anhaltenden Verspätungen im deutschen Bahnverkehr, nehmen wir inzwischen auch die alarmierenden Ergebnisse der Schülerinnen und Schüler in nationalen und internationalen Schulleistungsstudien zur Kenntnis. Erst Anfang Dezember wurde veröffentlicht, dass deutsche Schülerinnen und Schüler im internationalen PISA-Vergleich im Jahr 2022 das bisher schlechteste Ergebnis erzielt haben. Die kognitiv-fachlichen Leistungen sind jedoch nur eine der gegenwärtigen Herausforderungen, wenn es…

Cheers to a Happy New Year: On 26 January 2024 at 18:00, the University of Konstanz Alumni Association welcomes you to join the annual New Year reception on level K 5.

This study presents dinuclear alkenylruthenium complexes featuring π-extended trans,trans-distyrylbenzene or 1,4-(2-phenylethynyl)benzene linkers, analogous to oligophenylvinylene and oligophenylethynylene oligomers, as well as the macrocyclic analogue. Characterized by NMR spectroscopy and high-resolution ESI-MS, the compounds undergo detailed examination of their electrochemical and spectroscopic properties. The study explores the efficacy of intramolecular through-bond electron transfer in…

The study introduces four diruthenium complexes featuring divinylphenylene-bridged structures with N,O-chelating 2-hydroxypyridine and 2-hydroxy- or 8-hydroxyquinoline ligands. Through a combination of experimental techniques and (TD-)DFT calculations, the research reveals that the divinylphenylene bridge significantly influences redox processes, showcasing electron delocalization over the entire π-conjugated backbone with minimal involvement of the attached donor ligands.

Franci's latest paper discusses PyrDPE-RuCl and PyrDPE-Ru(acac) complexes with a π-extended 2,7-di(4-phenylethynyl)pyrene linker, undergoing one-electron oxidations without displaying an intervalence charge-transfer band, suggesting a lack of electronic coupling between {Ru} entities. The electronically decoupled central pyrenyl fluorophore enables stable, red-shifted pyrene-based fluorescence emissions at 77 K, showcasing the unique electronic properties of these complexes.
