Today, a wide range of pharmaceuticals can be found in waste waters, surface waters, groundwater and also drinking water. Particularly critical are antibiotics as accumulation promotes the development of resistance. Scientists at the Leuphana University of Lüneburg developed new and environmentally degradable antibiotics.

Alkynes have a great importance in complex chemical synthesis. Currently used reagents for alkynylation are often highly explosive and do not allow for intramolecular site specific alkynylation. Scientists from the University of Göttingen succeeded to develop save, selective and efficient reagents for alkynylation.
