Fritz Vögtle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fritz Vögtle (born March 8, 1939 in Ehingen ; † January 3, 2017 ) was a German chemist .

life and work

A photoswitchable catenane , 1993
A molecular knot, 2000

From 1958 Vögtle studied chemistry at the University of Freiburg . 1960 he became a student of chemistry and medicine at the University of Heidelberg , where he received his diploma in 1963. Just two years later, with Heinz A. Staab, with a thesis on ship bases, he became a Dr. rer. nat. PhD . Staab also supervised his habilitation (1969) on steric interactions inside cyclic compounds. In 1970 Vögtle became a professor at the University of Würzburg . As professor and director of the Kekulé Institute for Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, he moved to the University of Bonn in 1975 , where he retired in 2006 . In 1986 he was a visiting professor at the University of Barcelona .

Vögtle worked in the field of organic chemistry . As early as 1969, in his habilitation thesis, he was able to determine the size and space requirements of substituents. To do this, he used various phanes , which he examined with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy . Later he also dealt with other groups of substances in supramolecular chemistry , for example with storable cavity molecules , siderophores , crown ethers and octopus compounds and created the first dendrimers . He also worked on molecular knots : in 1992 he succeeded in the one-step synthesis of a fourfold functionalized catenane and in 1997 in the synthesis of a pretzel-shaped molecule, a "pretzel". By using template effects, he was able to produce rotaxanes in large quantities for the first time and in 1995 he was able to obtain the first amide- based rotaxanes . In addition, he deals with organic stereochemistry , chirality , helicity and with the development of new devices (glass apparatus, stencils, stereoscopes ) and nomenclature.

In 1970 he married the doctor of medicine Ute Dietlind geb. Junkert. His hobbies were photography, diving and painting.

Publications

Vögtle published around 750 specialist publications. In addition, more than 270 dissertations were written under his guidance. In addition, he was involved in 24 patents and utility models in various fields of chemistry and technology.
