Advances in Bismuth Chemistry

Crispin Lichtenberg studied chemistry at the universities of Cambridge (UK) and Marburg. Having earned his PhD degree at the RWTH Aachen University, he worked as a postdoc at the ETH Zurich (CH) and finished his habilitation at the University of Würzburg. Scientific awards include an ERC starting grant and a Heisenberg grant (DFG). Since 2022, he is a LOEWE Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Philipps-University of Marburg. His research interests cover molecular bismuth compounds and redox-active ligands aiming at the design of new structural motifs and the exploration of their reactivity towards applications in synthesis, catalysis, and materials science.
