Summary:

We study post-Lie algebra structures on pairs of Lie algebras (𝔤,𝔫), and prove existence results for the case that one of the Lie algebras is semisimple. For semisimple 𝔤 and solvable 𝔫 we show that there exist no post-Lie algebra structures on (𝔤,𝔫). For semisimple 𝔫 and certain solvable 𝔤 we construct natural post-Lie algebra structures. On the other hand we prove that there are no post-Lie algebra structures for semisimple 𝔫 and solvable, unimodular 𝔤. We also determine the generalized (α,β,γ)-derivations of 𝔫 in the semisimple case. As an application we classify certain post-Lie algebra structures related to generalized derivations.
