from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thomas Straßner (* 1964 in Nuremberg ) is a German chemist .

Life

After completing his university entrance qualification in 1983 , Straßner served 15 months as a transport soldier in the Bundeswehr's supply company . 1984 enrolled him at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg (FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg) in Degree chemistry. He completed his studies in 1990 with a diploma thesis on “ Macrocycles with diphenylmethane units, synthesis and conformation of potential host compounds” with Paul von Ragué Schleyer and Martin Feigel . In 1994 he received his doctorate from FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg . Mentors of his dissertation entitled “ Cyclophanes from Diiso cyanates - Synthesis, Experimental and Theoretical Conformational Analysis ” were Paul von Ragué Schleyer and Martin Feigel.

From November 1994 he was a C3 professor at the Institute for Organic Chemistry at the TU Dresden . In October 1996 he went to the United States to do research in the group of Kendall Houk at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). From November 1998 he worked on his habilitation at the Technical University of Munich on the subject of “Investigations on CH activation of hydrocarbons : linking experiment and theory”, which he completed in 2002 and was then appointed as a private lecturer . From April 2002 to December 2003 he was a representative of the C3 professorship at the TU Dresden. Since January 2004 he has been a full professor for " Physical Organic Chemistry " at the TU Dresden.

His research interests include metal complexes of N-heterocyclic carbenes , homogeneous catalytic reactions, quantum chemistry , reaction mechanisms , triplet emitters for OLEDs , CH activation and ionic liquids .
