معرفی
Stephan Enthaler is a Visiting Professor at the University of Hamburg (UHH) in the Institute of Inorganic and Applied Chemistry. Previously, he held a junior research group leader position in Research Fields A4 and D3 at the UniCat Excellence Cluster at TU Berlin from 2009 to 2015. His research focuses on homogeneous catalysis, organometallic chemistry, and the development of sustainable catalytic processes for depolymerization and chemical transformations.
Key research interests include the design of transition metal-based catalysts (e.g., zinc, iron, nickel) for depolymerization of end-of-life polymers, C–C bond formation, and the application of non-toxic metals in catalytic systems. His work emphasizes green chemistry principles, aiming to develop cost-effective and environmentally friendly catalytic solutions.
His publications highlight contributions in zinc-catalyzed depolymerization of polysiloxanes and polyethers, iron-catalyzed reactions for small molecule activation, and the synthesis of novel ligand systems for nickel complexes. These studies underscore his focus on advancing catalytic methodologies for industrial and sustainable chemical processes.
Enthaler's research has been published in high-impact journals such as ACS Catalysis, Angewandte Chemie International Edition, and ChemSusChem. His work bridges fundamental catalytic mechanisms with practical applications, particularly in recycling and green chemistry domains.
