Wolfgang Haase (physical chemist)
Otto Wolfgang Haase (born October 25, 1936 in Reinholdshain , Glauchau ; died December 11, 2018 ) was a German physical chemist and professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt .
Career
After training as a chemical worker in Glauchau / Saxony and working in industry there, Haase studied organic-chemical technology in Magdeburg . This was followed by an industrial internship. The study of chemistry with guest students in mineralogy took place at the University of Jena (diploma 1960), doctorate (1964) there (H. Dunken). 1966 and 1968 postdoc at KTH Stockholm (L.-G. Sillen; G. Jonhansson) and other universities in Sweden. 10/1968 moved to the Federal Republic of Germany, research assistant at the Mineralogical Institute of the University of Marburg (E. Hellner). In Marburg 11/1970 habilitation for structural chemistry and physical chemistry (H. Kuhn and K. Dehnicke), rehabilitation for physical chemistry to Darmstadt, since 1971 professor for physical chemistry at the Technical University of Darmstadt, at that time technical university. Among other things, dean of the department there.
Haase held visiting professorships in Jena and various foreign universities, including a. in Florianopolis / Brazil, Santiago de Chile , Osaka and Yokusuka / Japan, Alexandria / Egypt. Scientific collaborations have existed and continue to exist with many universities at home and abroad (including Krakow, Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, Tscheljabinsk, Krasnoyarsk, Florianopolis / Brazil; Santiago / Chile; Patiala, New Delhi, Mumbai, Siliguri / India; Alexandria / Egypt; Minsk / Belarus); COST projects.

Haase wrote about 680 scientific papers in specialist journals, book chapters and owns 18 patents. Together with Stanislaw Wrobel he edited the book Relaxation Phenomena . He is a guest editor and editorial board member of several specialist journals.
Haase initiated and stimulated fundamental work on molecular magnetism and liquid crystals , especially metallomesogens and ferroelectric liquid crystals. In addition, articles on the function of metal ions in biological systems and on the electroactive properties of polymers appeared , alongside a broad spectrum of structural analysis work.
