Brochures and scientific publications

Popular science publications (brochures)

Here you will find our brochures, which are aimed at the interested public. In various publications, the GDCh presents current topics in chemistry in easy-to-understand brochures, occasionally together with other scientific societies. The printed version of the brochures is often out of print soon after publication. All printed brochures that are still available can be ordered in the GDCh shop. Further down on this page you will find our scientific publications.
