A team of scientists headed by Professor Ingo Krossing from the Department of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Freiburg has succeeded in significantly increasing classic reagents’ potential for oxidation.

A team of scientists headed by Professor Ingo Krossing , Professor of Molecular and Coordination Chemistry at the University of Freiburg’s Institute of Inorganic and Analytical Chemistry, has succeeded in significantly increasing the potential for oxidation of  and  positive ions. While the potential of these positive ions in conventional solvents and anions is up to +0.65 / +1.0 V vs. Fc+/0, the scientists demonstrated potentials of up to +1.50 / +1.52 V vs. Fc+/0. ...
