Catalysts are among the most important driving forces behind the technological achievements of our present age. The abundance of fresh food at our stores, the beginnings of green energy, and the new pharmaceuticals we use to treat disease depend on chemical reactions accelerated by catalysts.
How well can we design a new catalyst or a needed catalytic reaction? This question is widely viewed as central to the whole field of synthetic chemistry.
Einstein Visiting Fellow John F. Hartwig and his research group seek to invent new catalysts that contain a metal atom as the central and reactive element. But even more importantly, they try to develop the general principles by which such catalysts can be designed and the strategies by which the discovery process can be improved. In his lecture John F. Hartwig will present important catalysts already used or recently designed in his group.

Meeting Einstein // John F. Hartwig // Catalysts: speeding up technological progress You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
