Join us at RESOLV's science-industry networking event! November 10th, 2026, 12:00 - 20:00 ZEMOS Building, Ruhr University Bochum

Catecholamines such as dopamine and norepinephrine are key signaling molecules in our body. We discuss how fluorescent sensors (carbon nanotube based and genetically encoded) for these molecules in c...

To complement the existing expertise in the Cluster of Excellence RESOLV (EXC 2033), we announce a position for an

Hydrogen bonds make water what it is: the elixir of life. Researchers of the Excellence Cluster RESOLV are investigating the dance of the molecules and monitor how flexible the bond is.

ResearchA more sustainable chemical industry must move away from fossil-based carbon sources and instead utilize renewable feedstocks, such as CO2 or…

The human immune system is central in the defense against pathogens but is also involved in autoimmune diseases. Inflammatory processes are orchestrated by biomolecules, including the inflammation mar...

One of RESOLV’s cardinal principles is fostering diversity, equity, inclusion and respect. It is our mission to cultivate a climate of belonging and create an environment where everyone can thrive.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are powerful building blocks for near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent biosensors. They can be chemically tailored to detect specific biomolecules. Their performance ...

Although tartaric acid (TA) and its esters have been among the first molecules to be characterized by means of VCD spectroscopy, the experimental spectra of TA recorded in water have not yet been repr...

The first study of the high-pressure behavior of organic halogen bond donors in solution is presented: HP-NMR titrations were performed in various solvents, primarily with a neutral tridentate halogen...

The analysis of VCD spectra recorded in hydrogen bonding solvents often requires the explicit consideration of solute–solvent interactions in the DFT-based spectral calculations. While such a micro-so...

The C [[double bond, length as m-dash]] C stretching mode of iodotrifluoroethylene (ITFE) serves as a marker for halogen-bonding (XB) interactions in complexes with phosphines. The formation of C–I⋯P ...

A new synthetic approach to anionic N-heterocyclic olefins (NHOs) via ligand exchange of metalated ylides/diazomethanes with free carbenes is reported. The anionic NHOs adopt bent structures with del....

RESOLV’s biannual “On Board” event was held on October 18, 2025, welcoming the new members of the RESOLV community at the Gasometer Oberhausen, an impressive industrial monument built in the late 1920...
