In recent years our research activities have expanded with a special focus on silicon chemistry and plasma chemistry, fields in which we have started to pursue experimental work as well.&nbsp;Many of our current activities involve close cooperation with experimental groups and industry partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/silicon-chemistry\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"107\">Silicon Chemistry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/main-group-chemistry\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"120\">Main Group Chemistry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/copper-chemistry\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"122\">Copper Chemistry<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/index.php\/small-molecules-activation\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"124\">Small Molecule Activation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:45px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Collaborative Research Centers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:31% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uni-goettingen.de\/de\/683468.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"507\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/170977.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-631 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/170977.png 507w, https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/170977-282x300.png 282w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 507px) 100vw, 507px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>CRC 1633<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pushing Electrons with Protons<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:31% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chemie.uni-wuerzburg.de\/forschung\/forschungsverbuende\/boronpro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/csm_BORONPro_Logo_283ad25510.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-702 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/csm_BORONPro_Logo_283ad25510.jpg 800w, https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/csm_BORONPro_Logo_283ad25510-300x209.jpg 300w, https:\/\/holthausen.anorg.chemie.uni-frankfurt.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/csm_BORONPro_Logo_283ad25510-768x535.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p><strong>CRC 1762<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>BORON<sup>Pro<\/sup> \u2013 Boron as Property-Determining Element<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our central field of research is computational chemistry, with a focus on quantum chemistry.
