Brigitte Eisenmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brigitte Eisenmann (born April 10, 1942 ; † April 26, 2011 ) was a German chemist and professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt, where she was the first professor of chemistry. Together with Herbert Schäfer , she expanded the definition of the Zintl phases .

Life

Eisenmann studied chemistry at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich . She completed her dissertation on "The Structural Chemistry of binary and ternary compounds of alkaline earth metals with elements of IV. Main group" in the group of Armin Weiss 1971. Shortly thereafter, she started in the newly formed group of Herbert Schäfer (chemist) at the Technical University of Darmstadt to investigate . Together with him she researched the Zintl phases . Eisenmann initially worked as a research assistant. A year later she worked as a lecturer. Three years later she became an academic senior councilor. In 1986 Herbert Schäfer died and Eisenmann continued their work together. In addition, she found her own research profile. In 1990 she completed her habilitation with the thesis "Zintl phases with complex anions". She later became an associate professor. She was the first female professor of chemistry at the Technical University of Darmstadt . She also contributed to the Landolt-Börnstein .

research

She discovered the Si 4 - Schmetterlingsanion in Ba 3 Si 4 during their dissertation. In addition, she and Herbert Schäfer expanded the definition of the Zintl phases : In their definition, Zintl phases are intermetallic compounds with a pronounced heteropolar bond contribution. In addition, their anion sublattices should obey the (8-N) rule. The latter rule was newly introduced when defining the Zintl phases. To date, this work has been cited more than 300 times.
