Günter Schmid

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Günter Schmid (born January 22, 1937 in Villingen in the Black Forest ) is a German chemist and professor emeritus for inorganic chemistry at the University of Duisburg-Essen .

Life

Schmid studied at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich chemistry, where he met with a thesis on metal-boron compounds at 1965 Heinrich Nöth doctorate was. He completed his habilitation in 1969 at the Philipps University of Marburg , where he was initially Academic Councilor in 1970/1971 and from 1971 Professor of Inorganic Chemistry; In 1975/1976 he was dean of the chemistry department. In 1977 he was offered a position at the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Essen , where he retired in 2002.

He has done fundamental scientific work on the chemistry and physics of large metal clusters of the elements gold, platinum, rhodium and ruthenium. He conducted research in the field of transition metal complexes, especially in the fixation of short-lived molecules through complex formation, and boron chemistry, later shifted his research focus to the synthesis of large transition metal clusters stabilized by ligands and the investigation of the properties of clusters and colloids with applications in nanoelectronics and in of catalysis . In addition to the electronic properties of precious metal nanoparticles, Schmid recently focused on the interactions of gold nanoparticles with biological systems. The well-known Au 55 cluster proved to be extremely toxic to cells and clearly exceeds the toxicity of cisplatin .
