Ernst-Heiner Korte

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst-Heiner Korte (* 1942 ) is a German chemist ( analytical chemistry , infrared spectroscopy ).

Korte received his doctorate in 1972 from the University of Dortmund under Bernhard Schrader (measurement of optical rotational dispersion in the infrared spectral range). He was at the Institute of Spectrochemistry and Applied Spectroscopy (Institute for Spectrochemistry and Applied Spectroscopy, ISAS) in Dortmund, where he headed several working groups and from 1992 to 2004 the newly integrated part of the institute in Berlin, before returning to Dortmund as deputy director of ISAS. In 2007 he retired but remained an advisor to the institute.

Among other things, he dealt with infrared spectroscopy of solutions of chiral molecules in liquid crystals.

In 2012 he received the Clemens Winkler Medal for contributions to applied infrared spectroscopy. For many years he was secretary of the Analytical Chemistry (DAC) section of the European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences and received a DAC tribute. From 1999 to 2002 he was chairman of the German Working Group for Applied Spectroscopy (DASp) of the GDCh and became its honorary member in 2007.
