Modern Avenues in Metal-Nucleic Acid Chemistry

  • Hubert Schmidbaur

    Hubert Schmidbaur (born 1934) studied chemistry at the University of Munich (LMU, Dr. rer. nat. in Inorganic Chemistry in 1960, with Max Schmidt) and later held academic positions at the University of Marburg (Habilitation, 1964) and the University of Würzburg (1965 – 1973) before he joined the Technical University of München (TUM), where he finally retired in 2003. Offers from the Technical University of Berlin and the University of Münster were declined. He held numerous visiting professorships at the universities of Kyoto, Hiroshima, Auckland, Melbourne, Canberra, Stellenbosch, Singapore, and Djeddah. With his large research group he worked in many fields of inorganic, organometallic and bioinorganic chemistry including areas like heterosiloxanes, carbosilanes, phosphines, phosphorus ylides and phosphineboranes, arene π-complexes of main group elements, and bioinorganic chemistry of beryllium and magnesium. For several decades his name has been most strongly associated with the chemistry of gold. He is a member of several science academies and learned societies and received many honors, prizes and awards. For many years he served as a consultant for the chemical industry and for patent attorneys and was engaged in committees of the German Science Foundation (DFG) and the German Chemical Society (GDCh).
