Current interdisciplinary research projects in Dr. Denk's lab focus on a) Folate intermediates, hydrogenases and hydride transfer reactions under biological conditions; and Bb Prebiotic transition metal chemistry
Denk's research has evolved over the last decades from the following research projects:
- Carbenes and their "heavy" relatives (R2M: with M = C, Si, P+, Ge, Sn and transition metals). - Stabilization of highly reactive species through bulky amido substituents. - Synthesis of novel volatile compounds as CVD precursors for microelectronic materials - Generation of Ge-Si and Ge-C thin films for semiconductor and solar cell technology, synthesis of new precursors for electronic grade thin silicon films. - Generation of superhard, oxidation resistant films based on boron and titanium.
