The vibrational spectra of the copper(I) cation–dihydrogen complexes Cu⁺(H₂)₄, Cu⁺(D₂)₄ and Cu⁺(D₂)₃H₂ are studied using cryogenic ion trap vibrational spectroscopy in combination with quantum chemical calculations. The infrared photodissociation (IRPD) spectra (2500–7300 cm⁻¹) are assigned based on…

We report an ion-exchanged zeolite as an excellent candidate for large-scale application in hydrogen isotope separation. Ag(I)-exchanged zeolite Y has been synthesized through a standard ion-exchange procedure. The D2/H2 separation performance has been systematically investigated via thermal…
First joint publication of the Asmis, Tonner and Warneke groups
Joint research work headed by the junior research group Warneke together with the Tonner and Asmis groups on the systematic investigation of the relevance of π-backbonding involving the delocalized σ-electron systems in superelectrophilic anions.

A molecular-level understanding of ion solvation is of fundamental interest in various fields, ranging from biochemistry to atmospheric chemistry. Currently, one of the key challenges is to assess and model the extent of ion pairing in aqueous electrolyte solutions. Obtaining detailed information on…

Each funding year, an interdisciplinary three-day retreat, mandatory for all ¹²³H members, is organised. The Advisory Board is also invited to attend. Doctoral researchers report on the status of their projects. Selected PIs or external speaks may give a tutorial on a subject chosen by the doctoral…
The ¹²³H Colloquium is organised two to three times per semester as a half-day workshop and aims at disentangling challenging topics of the RTG. It starts with a brown-bag lunch with the guest lecturer and the doctoral (and postdoctoral) researchers. Subsequently, two doctoral researchers present…
