Life

Glemser studied chemistry at the TH Stuttgart from 1930 . His doctorate as Dr.-Ing. took place in 1935 with a doctoral thesis with Erwin Ott . He then received a teaching position in analytical chemistry . In 1939 he completed his habilitation and was employed as a senior engineer at the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry at the TH Aachen . During the Second World War , he organized the evacuation of the institute to Dillenburg in 1944 and its return to Aachen in 1946. In 1952 he followed the call of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen to her chair for inorganic chemistry. As director of the institute, he supervised Wolfgang Sundermeyer's habilitation . In 1980 he retired.

Glemser achieved pioneering work in the field of the chemistry of the element fluorine , especially in the area of ​​the compounds of fluorine with the elements sulfur and nitrogen (e.g. NSF 3 , S 4 N 4 F 4 ). Glemser also published important work on iso and heteropoly acids . At the age of 85, Glemser and a few employees were still involved in basic research, e. B. in connection with batteries for electric cars . In 1979, thanks to Glemser's suggestion and support, the Museum of Göttingen Chemistry was founded in the new building of the Inorganic Chemical Institute, which the company moved into in 1973 in Göttingen-Weende .

Honors

Glemser was a member from 1954 and from 1962 to 1970 President of the Academy of Sciences in Göttingen . In 1962 he was elected to the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina . In 1969 he received the Liebig medal from the Society of German Chemists (GDC). The Inorganic Division of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry elected him President that same year.
