Gereon Niedner-Schatteburg (born November 21, 1959 , née Niedner) is a German physicist and chemist. He is Professor of Physical Chemistry in the Chemistry Department at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern and, since 2011, spokesman for the DFG-funded Transregio Collaborative Research Center SFB / TRR 88 3MET.de.

Career

Gereon Niedner-Schatteburg obtained his secondary school leaving certificate in 1975 in Kreiensen and the business school diploma in 1978 in Northeim and then did his military service in the German Army on the destroyer Schleswig-Holstein . From 1979 to 1988 he studied mathematics and physics at the Georg-August University in Göttingen , where he received his doctorate in 1988 on the subject of charge exchange and inelastic scattering in proton-molecule collisions. From 1982 to 1989 he was a research assistant at the Max Planck Institute for Flow Research in the group of Jan Peter Toennies . From 1989 to 1990, Niedner-Schatteburg worked at the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley in the group of Yuan T. Lee on a postdoctoral position on infrared spectroscopy of isolated molecule clusters. He then became an assistant (C1) at the Chair of Physical Chemistry II at the Technical University of Munich with Vladimir E. Bondybey, where he completed his habilitation in chemistry with a thesis on the structure and reactivity of ionic metal and molecule clusters using Fourier transform ion cyclotron -Resonance mass spectrometry.

As a senior assistant and private lecturer, he worked and researched at the Technical University of Munich for a further four years, where he represented a vacant chair in 2000 (em. EW Schlag ). In the same year he was offered a professorship for physical chemistry at the University of Kaiserslautern (successor to Hans-Georg Kuball), which he accepted in autumn 2000. From 2001 to 2008 he served at the university a. a. as dean of studies, dean and vice dean of the chemistry department and as a member of the university's senate. Since 2011 he has been the elected spokesman for the Transregio Collaborative Research Center 3MET.de of the German Research Foundation , which he and Manfred Kappes ( Karlsruhe Institute of Technology ) jointly initiated , and since 2008 he has been the deputy spokesman for the State Research Center for Optics and Materials Science under Martin Aeschlimann . From 2014 to 2016 he was and is the elected spokesman for the Molecular Physics Association in the German Physical Society. He was visiting professor at the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Sciences (IAMS) of the Academia Sinica in Taipei, Taiwan (2000) and at the Laboratoire Chimie-Physique University Paris-Süd in Orsay, France (2005), as well as a visiting fellowship at Yale University in New Haven, USA (2013). After completing his doctorate, he was awarded the Reimar Lüst grant from the President of the Max Planck Society .

He is the managing board member of the Steinhofer Foundation at the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, and he serves as the honorary chairman of the Friends of Hohenstaufen Gymnasium Kaiserslautern. He is married and has two children.

research

Gereon Niedner-Schatteburg's research area is reactive phenomena in and with size-selected clusters of metals and molecules under isolation conditions. The focus of his investigations lies in the field of kinetics and spectroscopy of transition metal complexes and clusters with a view to the activation of inert small molecules. He is also looking for conceptual applications for oligonuclear complexes of transition metals and lanthanoids as effective homogeneous catalysts, single-molecule magnets or optical effectors. In his experiments, Gereon Niedner-Schatteburg basically combines ion traps and high-resolution mass spectrometers with infrared laser pulses or X-ray synchrotron radiation, the latter using the BESSY II synchrotron at the Helmholtz Center for Materials and Energy in Berlin. Niedner-Schatteburg has published around 100 scientific publications in international journals and several book chapters.
