Topic of Research Seminar: Functionalization of Thiosemicarbazones and Their Coordination Chemistry

Abstract: Prof. Dr. Axel Klein, a leading researcher in inorganic and coordination chemistry at the University of Cologne, will present highlights from his group’s recent work on the functionalization of thiosemicarbazones, versatile ligands that play a key role in developing luminescent, cytotoxic, and nanostructured metal complexes. His talk will explore how rational ligand design and coordination strategies advance applications in catalysis, materials science, and bioinorganic chemistry.
