awardee 2023 - Michael Ruck, TU Dresden

professor dr Michael Ruck is being honored for his wide-ranging and conceptually unusual work, which is based on classical inorganic solid-state chemistry and is constantly evolving. His pioneering contributions range from synthesis and structural characterization to nanomaterials and coordination compounds, and also include the discovery of the fibrous modification of the element phosphorus, known as Ruck's phosphorus.
