Frank Glorius (born 1972 in Walsrode) is a German chemist and W3-Professor of Organic Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry and Pharmacy at the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster.〔(Homepage der Arbeitsgruppe von Prof. Frank Glorius an der WWU Münster )〕 == Life and work == Glorius studied chemistry at the Leibniz University Hannover, completing his Diploma thesis in 1997. During his Diploma he also undertook a successful nine-month research stay at Stanford University with Paul A. Wender in 1995/1996.〔Paul A. Wender, Frank Glorius u. a.: ''Transition Metal-Catalyzed (+ 2 ) Cycloadditions of Allenes and Vinylcyclopropanes: First Studies of Endo-Exo Selectivity, Chemoselectivity, Relative Stereochemistry, and Chirality Transfer.'' In: ''Journal of the American Chemical Society.'' 121, 1999, S. 5348–5349, .〕 Glorius completed his Doctorate in 2000 investigating "New chiral bis-oxazoline ligands for enantioselective catalysis" at the University of Basel with Andreas Pfaltz. His PhD was divided between the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung (1997–1999) and the University of Basel (1999–2000). Between 2000-2001 Glorius completed a Postdoc at Harvard University in Cambridge, with David A. Evans exploring the Total synthesis of Aflastatin A. Following this, he worked with his mentor Alois Fürstner as an independent researcher/research group leader/Assistant Professor at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung. In 2004, before formal completion of the habilitation, he was awarded a position as C3-Professor of Chemistry at the University of Marburg. Since August 2007, Glorius has been a Professor of Organic Chemistry at Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität in Münster. Professor Glorius' research program is dedicated to the development of new catalytic methodologies in organic chemistry. His research group explores a wide range of topics including the development and application of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) in catalysis,〔Matthew N. Hopkinson, Christian Richter, Michael Schedler, Frank Glorius: ''An overview of N-heterocyclic carbenes.'' In: ''Nature.'' 510, 2014, S. 485–496, .〕 C-H activation,〔Joanna Wencel-Delord, Frank Glorius: ''C-H bond activation enables the rapid construction and late-stage diversification of functional molecules.'' In: ''Nature Chemistry.'' 5, 2013, S. 369–375, .〕 asymmetric organocatalysis,〔Xavier Bugaut, Frank Glorius: ''Organocatalytic umpolung: N-heterocyclic carbenes and beyond.'' In: ''Chemical Society Reviews.'' 41, 2012, S. 3511, .〕 asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic compounds, photoredox catalysis, heterogeneous catalysis, Metal Organic Frameworks/MOFs, and the development of reaction screening technologies.〔Karl D. Collins, Frank Glorius: ''A robustness screen for the rapid assessment of chemical reactions.'' In: ''Nature Chemistry.'' 5, 2013, S. 597–601, .〕 Former members of the group have gone on to have successful careers in both academia and industry. Glorius is married and has three children. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Frank Glorius」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
