Marianne Baudler Prize

Marianne Baudler Prize

     

  • Subject: Inorganic Chemistry
  • Consists of: 7,500 euros, certificate
  • First awarded: 1950
  • Awarded in: Even years
  •  

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.

Current awardee: Franc Meyer, Georg-August University of Göttingen

Professor Franc Meyer received the GDCh Prize for Inorganic Chemistry (today the Marianne Baudler Prize) for his outstanding achievements in the field of coordination chemistry in general and in particular for his pioneering work on controlling the electronic and magnetic communication of metals and their cooperation in small molecule activation through targeted ligand design. His research is characterized by the combination of innovative synthetic chemistry with a large variety of modern characterization methods and shapes the standards of coordination chemistry internationally.
