Carsten Jenne

Carsten Jenne is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biology at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Bergische University of Wuppertal.

His research focuses on:

• Molecular Chemistry of Nonmetals
• Boron Cluster Chemistry
• Weakly Coordinating Anions in Catalysis
• Stabilization of Reactive Cations
• Materials Science for Technical Applications

Recent publications demonstrate expertise in small molecule activation (CO₂, CS₂), noble gas compound stabilization (neon, argon), and reactive sulfur species. The work combines preparative synthesis, quantum chemical calculations, and advanced spectroscopic methods to explore fundamental inorganic processes.

The research group operates one of Germany's few specialized laboratories for handling elemental fluorine, enabling unique studies in high-reactivity fluorine chemistry.
