Fabian Dankert

Dr. Fabian Dankert is a chemist affiliated with the University of Kassel as an FCI Liebig Fellow since 2024. His research focuses on the design of low-valent Group 13 heterometallic compounds, chemical bond activation, and catalysis, combining experimental and theoretical approaches. He was previously at the Leibniz Institute for Catalysis, Saarland University, and the University of Bern, supported by a DFG Walter Benjamin Fellowship.

Key research areas include:

• Activation of Si–O bonds and template-assisted synthesis
• Phosphorus compound transfer/redox chemistry
• Structural characterization via crystallography
• In-crystallo transformations

His work has been recognized through competitive fellowships, and he contributes to chemistry education at multiple institutions.

Scientific Awards:

• Walter Benjamin Fellowship (German Research Foundation, DFG)
• FCI Liebig Fellowship (University of Kassel)
