I studied metalorganic chemistry and made my PhD at the University of Cologne, Germany. Since five years I work as a technical sales manager for homogeneous precious metal catalysts at Heraeus. We offer all eight platinum group metals Ag, Au, Ir, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh and RU in the form of their soluble compounds which can be used for a variety of reactions like hydrogenations (also asymmetrical), C-C coupling and others.
