Ulrich Müller

Ulrich Müller (born 6 July 1940 in Bogotá) is a German chemist that is known for his works on solid-state chemistry and the application of crystallographic group theory to crystal chemistry.[1][2] He is the author of several textbooks on chemistry, solid-state chemistry, and crystallography.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Life

Müller studied chemistry at the University of Stuttgart from 1959 to 1963.[1][9] He worked on his dissertation at the Purdue University and the University of Stuttgart.[1] He finished it in 1966 in the group of Kurt Dehnicke.[1][10] From 1967 to 1970, he worked in the group of Hartmut Bärnighausen at the University of Marburg.[1] In 1972, he finished his habilitation.[1] From 1972 to 1975, Müller was a professor for inorganic chemistry at the University of Marburg. From 1975 to 1977, he was a guest professor at the University of Costa Rica.[1] Then, several professorships for inorganic chemistry followed: University of Marburg from 1977 to 1992, University of Kassel from 1992 to 1999, and University of Marburg from 2000 to 2005. Since 2005, he has been an emeritus professor.[1]

Research

His research focused on the following topics:[1]

  • application of crystallographic group theory in crystal chemistry to investigate structural relationships of crystalline solids and to predict possible structure types for inorganic compounds[1]
  • synthesis of thio, polysulfido, and polyselenido complexes[1]
  • structural analysis of crystalline solids with X-ray diffraction[1]

Awards

He was awarded the Literaturpreis des Fonds der chemischen Industrie for his textbook "Anorganische Strukturchemie" (engl. Inorganic Structural Chemistry).[11]
