Rolf Gleiter
Rolf Gleiter (born October 22, 1936 in Stuttgart ) is a German chemist ( organic chemistry ).
From 1956 Gleiter studied chemistry at the University of Stuttgart with a diploma in 1962 and received his doctorate there in 1964 under Franz Effenberger (electrophilic reactions of cumulated systems with C = C double bonds). As a post-doctoral student he was with Paul von Ragué Schleyer at Princeton University in 1965/66 and with Roald Hoffmann at Cornell University from 1966 to 1968 . In 1972 he completed his habilitation with Edgar Heilbronner in Basel, where he was a private lecturer before becoming Professor of Theoretical Organic Chemistry at the TH Darmstadt in 1973 . From 1979 he was professor of organic chemistry at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg , where he retired in 2006.
Among other things, he was visiting professor in Osaka and Kyoto for the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, at the Technion, in Peru, Canberra, Taiwan, at the University of Utah, Rice University and in St. Petersburg. He holds an honorary professorship in St. Petersburg and Lomonosov University and is an honorary doctor of the Russian Academy of Sciences (2003).
Glider deals with strained chemical compounds, e.g. B. cage molecules such as prismane derivatives, and investigates the influence of stresses on chemical stability and reactivity.
He has been a full member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences since 1991 . In 1991 he received the Max Planck Research Prize with John E. McMurry , in 1994 the Adolf von Baeyer Memorial Coin and in 1972 the Prize of the Swiss Chemical Society and the Werner Medal.
