To my family With deep gratitude and love Acknowledgements Acknowledgements I would like to start by expressing my deep gratitude to my academic supervisor, Priv. – Doz. Dr. Fritz E. Kühn for giving me the opportunity to work in Professor W. A. Herrmann’s research group and lead me to the organometallic and organometallic oxide chemistry and for his excellent supervision, encouragement, his continual patience and trust in me and in my work. I am also thankful for his kindness and patience to hear my German from the beginning and so help me improve my proficiency in German language. I would also like to express my appreciation to Dr. Ana Santos for introducing me into the field of epoxidation catalysis, gas chromatography and all the suggestions regarding experimental work. To Dr. Paula Ferreira I am very grateful for her kind guidance in the laboratory work and her deep patience during my first week in this institute. I am very grateful to Dr. Xiangge Zhou for his generous help with my sugar complexes chemistry and for helping me overcome the hardest time of my first research year and giving me more self- confidence in chemistry. I would like to thank Dr. Ayyamperumal Sakthivel for his engagement and continual enthusiasm for the chemistry which infected and encouraged me very much and for our fruitful cooperation on the heterogeneous catalysis. I am very thankful to my chinese colleagues in our group, Dr. Yanmei Zhang and Dr. Weisong, for their constructive disscusions on chemistry so that I can easily grasp the points. I appreciate the help of Filipe Pedro on the gas chromatography and all of the laboratory work. To Jörg Fridgen I am grateful for the helpful discussions on molybdenum chemistry and his help with the gas chromatography. I am thankful to Dr. Marta Abrantes for her passion for Molybdenum dioxo and peroxo chemistry and our harmonic cooperation on this chemistry. I would also like to express my best thank to my chinese friend, Dr. Li Yong for her kindly help with Cp chemistry. To the students, Zeming Zang and Yanan Zhai, I am thankful for their participation in my work and their hard-work in the laboratory. Dr. Herdtweck is acknowledged for the X-ray structural determinations included in this work. I am also very thankful to Mr. Barth and his co-workers for the elemental analysis and Mrs Rodica Dumitrescu for the mass spectroscopy analysis. Mrs Sabina Mühl and Mrs Georgeta Krutsch are acknowledged for her precious assistance in the performance of catalytic runs and numerous NMR measurements, as well as for their being always kind to me. A special thank Acknowledgements to Professor Janos Mink and his team for the IR and Raman spectroscopy measurements and the opportunity he gave me to visit his laboratories in Budapest and Vesprém in Hungary. Mrs Grötsch, Mrs Kaufmann, Mrs. Schuhbauer, Mrs Huber from the secretary’s office are acknowledged for their help with organization and burocratic matters. To all my former and present colleagues: Dr. Angela Sandulache, Dr. Yanmei Zhang, Dr. Jörg Fridgen, Dr. Xiange Zhou, Dr. Chi Zhang, Filipe Pedro, Dr. Wei Sui, Dr. Ayyamperumal Sakthivel, Dr. Marta Abrantes, Ahmed Hijazi and Syukri. I would like to thank for all the help in the everyday life in the laboratory and for the pleasant working atmosphere they created. I thank again my supervisor Dr. Kühn for introducing me to an international research group and giving me the opportunity to get acquainted with people from different countries and to know the different cultures and religions. I appreciate the good time we spent together very much. I am very grateful to all other the members in the Prof. Herrmann’s group for their cooperativeness and friendly help. I am thankful to Dr. Klaus Ruland for taking time for me to help me with NMR measurements. I would like to thank specially to my friends, Dr. Birgit Werner and Mr. Thomas Lindhorst for their friendly help in the organic chemistry and so much nice time we spent together over these three years. Thank Filipe Pedro, Dr. Martin Schreyer, Dr. Ayyamperumal Sakthivel and Angela Tan for many interesting talks and also the good memory they give me. My thanks go to also my Chinese colleagues and friends in Munich Yucang Liao, Chuanhua He, Dr. Xuebin Li, Dr. Huanrong Li, Dr. Zhongjing Chen, Dr. Junshan Zhang and Dr. Zhimin Dai for their always kind help. DAAD (Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdient) is acknowledged for the financial support for my Ph.D. work. Finally I would like to thank my family in China, especially my parents for their support, understanding, being so proud of my every achievement and their endless love. I am sorry for my husband that I could not be together with him these three years and could not share with him the most difficult time during his PhD work in China as I would have liked.
