Chen group

Welcome to the research group of Prof. Dr. Peter Chen.  The study of fundamentals of transition metal catalysis is our main goal. We employ mass spectrometry, computational methods and solution experiments for a detailed understanding and reaction development. In the wake of this we are building mass spectrometers and are improving computational methods (especially the description of dispersion effects).
