ABOUT

Matthias Wagner studied chemistry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and obtained his Ph.D. with Heinrich Nöth in 1992. He moved to the University of Oxford for a postdoc with Malcolm L. H. Green and finished his Habilitation in 1997 at the Technical University Munich in the group of Wolfgang A. Herrmann. He became a full professor at the Goethe-University Frankfurt/Main in 2000. He has published more than 300 scientific articles and given approximately 150 talks. His research interests include general main group chemistry (p-block elements in catalysis, cluster compounds), organic optoelectronic materials (B- and Si-doped π-electron systems), organoboron polymers (condensation, hydroboration, and ring-opening polymerization), dynamic covalent chemistry, reactive intermediates, unusual bonding situations (low-valent B and Si compounds, one-electron two-center bonds).
