Arndt Simon (born 14 January 1940) is a German inorganic chemist.[1] He was a director at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart.[2]
Life
Simon studied Chemistry at the University of Münster from 1960-1964.[2] He worked on his doctoral thesis in the group of Harald Schäfer from 1964-1966 and finished his habilitation in 1971.[2] In 1972, he was appointed as an associate professor at the University of Münster.[2] Starting in 1974, he was a member of the Max-Planck Society and one of the directors at the Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research in Stuttgart.[2] Since 1975, he was a honorary professor at the University of Stuttgart.[2] Since 2010, he has been an emeritus.[2]
Research
Simon worked on a wide range of topics in inorganic chemistry:[3]
- Alkali Metal Suboxides[4]
- Subnitrides of Alkaline Earth Metals[4]
- Metal-rich Halides and Oxides of Heavy d-Metals
- Condensed Clusters[5]
- Interstitial Atoms in Metal Clusters[5]
