Work duties
Design, synthesis and characterization of iron-based metal complexes based on, for example, N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. In synthesis, modern methods such as microwave synthesis will be used. Characterization will be done with advanced analytical methods such as nuclear magnetic spectroscopy. Studies on the ability of metal complexes to produce hydrogen gas photocatalytically from water will be performed. Responsibilities assigned within the department as responsibilities for certain instruments may be included.
Qulifications
Academic basic degree with at least 120 credits in chemistry, of which 30 credits in organic chemistry. Great emphasis will beplaced on written and oral presentation in English, the ability to work structured and independently and to be able to document
obtained results well. Solid experience in organic-inorganic-chemical synthesis work (both practical and theoretical).
Extensive knowledge of organometallic chemistry (both practical and theoretical).
