The Marianne Baudler Prize is awarded to chemists for outstanding scientific work in the field of inorganic chemistry. The chemistry professor Marianne Baudler was director of the Institute for Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Cologne and did research in the field of non-metals. She was particularly interested in phosphines and other compounds with at least one phosphorus-phosphorus bond.
At its meeting on March 4, 2022, the GDCh Board decided to no longer name the prize for inorganic chemistry, which was previously named after the chemist Alfred Stock (1876-1946), after Stock. The Board is thus following a recommendation from the "Prices 2.0" commission, which has dealt extensively with Alfred Stocks on behalf of the Executive Board. The chairman of the Division of History of Chemistry, Prof. Carsten Reinhardt, Univ. Bielefeld, added. With this measure, the Board and Commission emphasize the GDCh's clear stance against anti-Semitism and discrimination as well as a clear commitment to diversity and equal opportunities. A detailed justification can be found in issue 07/08 2022 of the Nachrichten aus der Chemie . On December 8, 2022, the GDCh Board decided to award the prize to the inorganic scientist Prof. Dr. to name Marianne Baudler.
Professor Peter Roesky receives the Marianne Baudler Prize for his innovative and groundbreaking contributions to lanthanide chemistry. He has had a lasting impact on this chemistry. In addition to the synthesis of numerous novel compounds, he also described their successful applications, for example in catalytic processes or in the production of luminescent and magnetic materials. Excellent and versatile synthesis strategies, consistent structural and property investigations and intelligent ligand design, which recently enabled access to spectacular polynuclear complexes, are the basis of his successes.
