Abstract:
Our research contributes to the field of synthetic chemistry both, inorganic and organic, by identifying and developing highly-selective phosphorus derivatives that can be potentially recycled. In this contribution the synthetic concept of “oxidative onionation” of white phosphorus (P4) will be introduced which constitutes a novel approach for a chlorine-free oxidation of white phosphorus. A detailed understanding of the underlying principles forms the basis for the future development of chlorine-free and sustainable processing routes of P4 to value-added phosphorus containing chemicals.[1-6]

Jan J. Weigand completed his diploma in chemistry and his Ph.D. at the LMU in Munich. He was awarded with the Bavarian culture prize and obtained a Lynen Scholarship from the AvH foundation for PDF research at Dalhousie University in Halifax (Canada) with Prof. Neil Burford. His habilitation at the WWU Muenster was funded by the AvH, FCI and the Emmy Noether research program (DFG). In 2010 he obtained the Wöhler research award for young scientist and 2012 an ERC starting grant. Since 2013 he is Professor of Inorganic Molecular Chemistry at the TU Dresden, and has interests in multiply charged and neutral main group element compounds, their reactivities in synthesis, sustainable applications, solvent extraction and inorganic industrial chemistry.
