Networking and interdisciplinary knowledge transfer
Alumni projectsCompleted projects
The Hector Fellow Academy has created a dynamic network for its alumni in order to maintain the dialogue between outstanding scientists beyond the project period. The regular exchange and transfer of research results as well as the opportunity for long-term interdisciplinary cooperation makes the HFA a vital academy of science. We are pleased that the following projects have been successfully completed.

1,3‑Diketon Based Ligands for Transition Metal Catalysis
Jonas Wunsch – Hector Fellow A. Stephen K. Hashmi
The development of catalysts to increase the chemical efficiency or to find completely new chemical reactions has found great interest. For this a wide variety of ligands are needed. The doctoral is supervised by Hector Fellow A. Stephen K. Hashmi and aims at developing new ligands that are based on the formal double deprotonation of 1,3‑diketones and thereby enlarging the chemical space of known ligands. For this new synthetic methods have to be found and the obtained ligands have to be tested and characterised.
