Bernt cancer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernt Wolfgang Krebs (born November 26, 1938 in Gotha ) is a German chemist who deals with inorganic chemistry  - in particular structural chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry, complex chemistry and solid-state chemistry.

Life

Cancer, son of a deaf teacher, studied from 1958 Chemistry at the University of Göttingen , where he Gerhard Gattow with the work in 1965 crystal structure and chemical reactions of trithiocarbonic acid doctorate was. As a post-doctoral student he was at Brookhaven National Laboratory with Walter Hamilton and Don Koenig in 1965/66 . After his habilitation in 1969 he was a lecturer in Göttingen, from 1971 associate professor for inorganic chemistry at the University of Kiel , 1973 full professor at the newly founded University of Bielefeld , where he helped to build up chemistry, and from 1977 at the University of Münster . In 2004 he retired.

He was visiting professor in Stony Brook, Strasbourg, Copenhagen / Lyngby, La Plata and Nagoya.

Krebs deals with inorganic structural chemistry and the synthesis of novel inorganic compounds, using X-ray and neutron diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. Among other things, he researched chalcogenides of the main group elements (especially sulfur, tellurium, selenium compounds and sulfur transition metal complexes), solid-state chemistry of boron halides, solid ionic conductors, catalytically active transition metal complexes and polyoxometalates . In bioinorganic chemistry he investigated the structure and function of transition metal complexes in biological systems (especially zinc, iron and copper enzymes) and their biomimetic synthesis. These included syntheses of novel platinum complexes as drugs for the chemotherapy of cancer. He has published over 750 scientific papers and holds 13 patents.

Krebs is a member of the Leopoldina (1999), the Mainz Academy of Sciences , the National Argentine Academy of Sciences and Literature, the New York Academy of Sciences and the Academia Europaea . He was on the scientific advisory board of the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Bielefeld (1979 to 2004), 1985 to 1989 in that of the Jülich Nuclear Research Center and 2001 to 2006 in that of the Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry . In 1992 he received the Max Planck Research Award , in 1997 the Wilhelm Klemm Award and in 2001 the Eugen Wiberg Lecture Award . In 2006 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Mainz.

From 1998 to 2004 he was chairman of the specialist committee for inorganic chemistry of the German Research Foundation (DFG). From 2001 to 2004 he was on the Structural Chemistry Commission of the International Union of Crystallography .

From 1985 to 1992 he was the spokesman for the priority program New Phenomena in the Chemistry of Metallic Elements with Completed Internal Electronic States of the DFG.
