Rudolf Scholder
Rudolf Scholder (born June 15, 1896 in Winterlingen , † December 20, 1973 in Pforzheim ) was a German chemist ( inorganic chemistry ) and professor at the TH Karlsruhe and director of the chemical institute there.
Live and act
Rudolf Scholder was born on June 15, 1896 as the son of a pastor in Winterlingen. He attended the humanistic grammar school here. He then attended the Protestant seminars in Schöntal and Urach and entered the Protestant monastery in Tübingen in 1914 . He participated in the First World War as a soldier. He then studied chemistry in Tübingen and Würzburg.
In 1922 he received his doctorate with Rudolf Friedrich Weinland in Würzburg with the grade " Summa cum laude ". His dissertation was titled On Antimonic Acid Benzcatechol Compounds . He then went into the chemical industry before accepting an assistant position with Rudolf Pummerer in Greifswald in 1924. In 1926 he moved to the University of Erlangen , where he became an assistant for inorganic chemistry. In 1927 he completed his habilitation in Erlangen with a thesis on Oxalate Complexes , and later he completed his habilitation in Halle.
From 1932 he took over the management of the inorganic department at the chemical institute of the University of Halle . The following year Rodulf Schloder joined the NSDAP . In 1934 he was appointed associate professor. In this position he was the deputy professor for chemistry at the Universities of Halle and Königsberg. In 1937 he becomes a full professor of chemistry and director of the chemical institute of the TH Karlsruhe .
He took part in the Second World War as a reserve officer for three years and began to rebuild his destroyed institute in 1945. His institute was one of the first institutes at the TH Karlsruhe to function again. In the years 1954–1956 he was rector of the TH Karlsruhe.
He is the father of theology professor Klaus Scholder (1930–1985) in Tübingen.
plant
Rudolf Scholder's main field of work was complex chemistry . The majority of his work appears in the Zeitschrift für Inorganische und Allgemeine Chemie . From 1923 more than 30 publications appear.
His work can be divided into two main areas. First, he studied the processes involved in dissolving metals, metal oxides and metal hydroxides in alkaline solutions.
Second, he was concerned with the reactions between oxides and hydroxides of metals at high temperatures, at which oxo salts are formed. During this research he found out that oxo salts exist in previously unknown “anomalous valencies” and he synthesized numerous new oxo complexes.
Honors
On June 1, 1958, the Society of German Chemists awarded him the Alfred Stock Memorial Prize for his work on oxo salts . In 1961 he became a member of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences .
