2.) We are honored to present a new full paper in Chem. Eur. J. about merging of a perylene moiety enables a Ru(II) photosensitizer with long-lived excited atates and the efficient production of singlet oxygen. Have a look
here. This publication also includes the front cover and the cover profile. Please, see
here.

The group moves to the
Technische Universität Braunschweig. From April 1st we are part of the Department of Energy Conversion at the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry. We are looking forward to an interesting future with new colleagues and cooperation partners. Our new laboratories are located at the Rebenring 31, in 38106 Braunschweig.
Welcome to the homepage of the karnahl research group. We are part of the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the Technische Universität Braunschweig. The homepage provides an overview about our current research interests, recent publications and open positions. For further details please check the different pages and enjoy reading.
