Ulrich Schubert (chemist, 1946)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ulrich Schubert (born May 26, 1946 in Regensburg ) is a German-Austrian chemist .

Live and act

Ulrich Schubert studied at the Technical University of Munich from 1967 to 1972 and graduated with a degree in chemistry . He worked in the group of Ernst Otto Fischer and was founded in 1974 with a thesis on transition metals and carbene Dr. rer. nat. PhD . From 1975 to 1976 he studied as a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University in California. In 1980 he completed his habilitation in Munich with a thesis on X-ray structure analyzes of metal complexes .

From 1980 to 1982 he was a private lecturer at the Technical University of Munich and from 1982 to 1994 professor of inorganic chemistry at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg . From 1989 to 1994 he also held management positions at the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicate Research . From 1994 he was Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Institute for Materials Chemistry at the Technical University of Vienna . He gave his inaugural address on the topic of New Inorganic Materials: Design at the Molecular Level . In 2014 he retired .

Ulrich Schubert was President of the Society of Austrian Chemists from 2001 to 2004 and a member of panel PE5 of the European Research Council from 2008 to 2015 . From 2011 to 2014 he was President of the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences (EuCheMS). Since 2016 he has been a member of the expert committee of the German Excellence Strategy .

His most important areas of work were initially compounds with transition metal-silicon bonds, later sol-gel processes, especially molecular precursors, inorganic-organic hybrid materials, nanocomposites and oxo clusters. Together with Theo Hack, Dominik Raps and Ralf Supplit, he researched corrosion properties for EADS Germany and in 2009 applied for a patent for corrosion protection coating for aluminum and magnesium alloys .
