Seminar Speaker: Professor Ingo Krossing
Abstract: Ingo Krossing steers a synthetic inorganic / organometallic chemistry group that bridges to computational, physical, materials and electrochemistry. His core expertise starts with weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) and was extended over the years to basic and applied Ionic Systems, i.e. compounds and materials (systems) in which ions determine their properties. The Ionic Systems under investigation range from very basic reactive cation salts,[1-5] to more applied systems like electrolytes for batteries and battery materials. To investigate the electrochemical relations between such Ionic Systems, solvent independent unified redox and acidity scales – applicable to all phases – were developed.[6]
