WELCOME TO THE MERTEN LAB

WE ARE A GROUP OF PHYSICAL ORGANIC CHEMISTS INTERESTED IN STEREOCHEMISTRY AND
CHIROPTICAL SPECTROSCOPY. OUR MAIN EXPERIMENTAL TOOL IS VIBRATIONAL CIRCULAR
DICHROISM (VCD) SPECTROSCOPY, WHICH WE USE TO STUDY A VARIETY OF PHENOMENA
RELATED TO MOLECULAR CHIRALITY, SUCH AS THE MECHANISMS OF THE TRANSFER OF
CHIRALITY RESPECTIVELY STEREOCHEMICAL INFORMATION IN SYSTEMS RELEVANT FOR
ASYMMETRIC CATALYSIS AND CHIRAL RECOGNITION OR FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS REGARDING
SOLUTE-SOLVENT AND OTHER INTERMOLECULAR INTERACTIONS. WE ARE ALSO INTERESTED IN
DEVELOPING NOVEL SAMPLING TECHNIQUES SUCH AS MATRIX ISOLATION VCD FOR
CHARACTERIZATION OF PHOTOCHEMICALLY GENERATED CHIRAL SPECIES OR
CRYOSOLUTIONS-VCD FOR CHIROPTICAL STUDIES ON WEAK INTERACTIONS IN LIQUID
RARE-GASES.

MARCH 2021
WATER DETERMINES CONFORMATION OF MACROLIDE

We use VCD spectroscopy to show that a single water molecule determines the
conformation of azithromycin even in CDCl3 solution. Congrats to Daniel on the
second exciting paper in ChemCommun from his postdoc time in Bochum. Read more.




DECEMBER 2020
CHIRAL PROPELLERS OF TRIARYLBORANE AMMONIA ADDUCTS.

Congratulations to Michael on his first paper! An exciting example for the use
of VCD spectroscopy for stereochemical characterizations – great job! Read more
about it in Angewandte Chemie!



 

 



YOUR OPPORTUNITY

Interested in working on an exciting research project involving synthesis,
experimental and theoretical IR/VCD spectroscopy? We are always looking for
Bachelor and Master students and offer experiments for practical lab courses.
