Group around Joris van Slageren contributed to a breakthrough in chemistry [ Picture: IPC] - Catalysts with a metal-nitrogen bond can transfer nitrogen to organic molecules. In this process short-lived molecular species are formed, whose properties critically determine the course of the reaction and product formation. The key compound in a catalytic nitrogen-atom transfer reaction has now been analysed in detail by chemists at the Universitis of Göttingen Frankfurt and Stuttgart. The detailed understanding of this reaction will allow for the design of catalysts tailored for specific reactions. The renowned reported on this. The development of new drugs or innovative molecular materials with new properties requires specific modification of molecules. Selectivity control in these chemical transformations is one of the main goals of catalysis.
