Ekkehard Fluck
Ekkehard Fluck (born February 27, 1931 in Singen (Hohentwiel) ) is a German chemist ( inorganic chemistry ).
Life
Fluck studied at the University of Heidelberg , received his doctorate under Margot Becke-Goehring in 1957 and was a private lecturer there after his habilitation in 1962. In 1957/58 he was a post-doctoral student at Monsanto in St. Louis. In 1963 he became a diet lecturer, in 1964 scientific advice and in 1967 an adjunct professor. In 1968 he became a full professor of inorganic chemistry at the University of Stuttgart , where he was director of the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry and from 1970 to 1973 Dean of the Faculty of Chemistry, and from 1979 to 1997 he was head of the Gmelin Institute as the successor to Margot Becke- Goehring, who edited Gmelin's Handbook of Inorganic Chemistry . He stayed that way until 1998.
The focus of his research was nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, Mössbauer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and synthetic phosphorus chemistry. He was also an expert on chemical nomenclature.
He was also chairman of the inorganic section of the IUPAC from 1989 to 1991 . From 1980 to 1994 he was chairman of the German CODATA commission and from 1985 to 1999 on the executive committee of CODATA. Fluck was an honorary doctorate from the University of Chile and a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science . In 1998 he received an honorary doctorate from the Russian Academy of Sciences and in 1977 an honorary member of the Chilean Chemical Society. In Chile he received the Order of Bernardo O'Higgins in 1968 and the Andre Bello Medal of the University of Chile in 1977.
He has been co-editor of "NMR - Fundamentals and Advances" since 1969 and of "Modern Physics in Chemistry" since 1977.
