Welcome to the Niemeyer group!
We are glad you found us!
Our research group was started in 2014 at the Faculty of Chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen.
Our research interests are in the field of organic and supramolecular chemistry, with the particular aim of generating functional supramolecular structures. We are excited to have started our independent research and to explore new aspects of supramolecular chemistry. Please see our research page for additional information.

Bachelor- and Master-theses 2021/2022
We are always looking for interested students! If you are interested in Organic and Supramolecular Chemistry and would like to join our group for your Vertiefungs- or Analytikpraktikum or for your Bachelor- or Master-thesis, don't hesitate to contact us. For a short description of two possible topics, please see here!
If you would like to know more please contact Jochen Niemeyer (mail) directly! I am happy to tell you more about our research and about possible projects!
PhD and Postdoc-applications welcome!
Applications from highly motivated graduate students are always welcome! If you look for research opportunities in the field of organic synthesis and supramolecular chemistry, please contact Jochen Niemeyer directly (mail). I am happy to help with scholarship applications!
Diversity commitment
Many of the greatest ideas and discoveries come from a diverse mix of minds, backgrounds and experiences. In our group, we welcome all researchers without regard to race, religion, color, age, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other aspect which makes them unique. We are commited to create an environment where everyone, from any background, can do their best work and enjoy science as a team effort!

December 2021
The AK Niemeyer slowly gets into the Christmas mood and has a small group celebration. Good food and Secret Santa with many funny presents! Thanks to everyone for their hard work in 2021!!!
September 2021
To discuss science in times of Corona, we had another online-symposium with good friends. Thanks to everyone in the group of Prof. Xiaoyu Hu at NUAA in Nanjing for participating!
September 2021
We had an online group meeting together with the wonderful group of Prof. Stephen Goldup in Southampton. It was great to discuss science, mostly of course involving interlocked molecules!
August 2021
We have a new publication! After seven years of work, we have finally finalized the synthesis of complementary double-helices based on the 1,1´-binaphthyl-framework. This work by Maike, Frescilia and Simon was now published in Chem. Commun.!
Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved.
