Jäkle Group

Research in Organometallic & Polymer Chemistry

     
 
 

Welcome to the Jäkle Research Group !

Research in the Jäkle group is highly interdisciplinary, involving aspects of organic, organometallic, polymer and materials chemistry. Currently we are pursuing projects in the areas of Organoborane Functionalization of Polymers, Chemical Sensors, Luminescent Materials, New Materials for Optoelectronic Devices, Multidentate Lewis Acids for Anion Recognition, and Planar Chiral Lewis Acids in Stereoselective Synthesis.

The group in January 2008
 

Polymer Topical Group Symposium May 14th, 2009 on the Rutgers - Newark Campus !

This symposium will focus on functional polymers for applications as sensors, in optoelectronic devices including OLEDs, and in the emerging field of energy-related materials. Prominent researchers from academia, industry, and government labs will provide an overview of the state-of-the-art and discuss exciting new developments in these areas. The presentations will be accompanied by a poster session, and ample opportunities for networking with professionals involved in polymer chemistry will be provided. Download Flyer
