Marianne Baudler Prize awarded to Prof. Peter W. Roesky

Prof. Peter Roesky, speaker of our CRC, received the 2024 Marianne Baudler Prize (former Alfred Stock Memorial Prize) from the German Chemical Society (Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, GDCh) in recognition of his "innovative and groundbreaking contributions to lanthanide chemistry". 

The Marianne Baudler Prize is awarded to chemists for outstanding scientific work in the field of inorganic chemistry. In addition to his synthesis of numerous novel compounds, Prof. Roesky 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."
