The main research area of the group is supramolecular chemistry. An important research topic is the development of synthetic anion receptors, most of which are based on cyclic peptides and pseudopeptides. Of particular interest is the recognition of anions in water and the understanding of the underlying principles. In addition to macrocyclic receptors, gold nanoparticles and polymeric materials have recently been used for anion binding. A completely different research topic, but also rooted in supramolecular chemistry, is the development of compounds that rapidly convert neurotoxic organophosphates into non-toxic metabolites under physiological conditions, allowing their use to treat poisoning with these nerve agents.

23.01.2026: Sabrina Knospe successfully defends her Ph.D. thesis. Congratulations and all the best for the future professional career.
20.09.2024: The first Training School of the LUCES COST Action CA22131 How to develop a sensor? Academic Approaches vs. Industrial Interests ended today. The 52 international participants followed the scientific programme and the excellent workshop on entrepreneurship organized by the RPTU start-up office with great interest and interacted intensively. Thanks also to the great weather in Kaiserslautern, the Training School was a great success.
05.06.2024: The second and extended edition of my textbook on supramolecular chemistry will be published on 22 July 2024. Besides many corrections and additions, I have added a new chapter on supramolecular polymers. Pre-orders are already possible.
25.04.2024: Benedict Wyrwol successfully defends his Ph.D. thesis. Congratulations and all the best for the future professional career.
