Large breadth of subject matter in theory and practice: Organic Chemistry; Inorganic Chemistry; Physical Chemistry; Theoretical Chemistry; Biochemistry; Medical, Pharmaceutical and Analytical Chemistry; Synthesis Chemistry; Electrochemistry; Complex Chemistry; Catalysis; Molecular Chemistry; Solid State Chemistry; Materials Science; Nanochemistry; Hybrid Materials; Luminescent Material, Nano-Spectroscopy, Surface Characterisation, Physical/Organic Chemistry; Photochemistry; Sensor Engineering, Bioanalytics; Translational Chemistry; Effect-Based Environmental Analysis and subject-related didactics.

Many international research cooperations; high participation of international scientists in scientific publications; "Schlenk Lecture" (international guest professorship, 3-week research stay of the award winner). International doctorates (e.g. Cotutelle), internationalisation of teaching through Teach@Tübingen, block course in sensor technology with strong international participation, international faculty.

Various analytical devices for optical characterisation (single-molecule spectroscopy, spectroelectrochemistry, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy); Participation in central institutions: Nanostructure laboratory LISA+, TEM laboratory, modern equipped laboratories, databases.

Industry-related research has led to the creation of several start-up companies, which continue to be supported by university members in an advisory capacity.
