Josef Goubeau

Josef Goubeau (31 March 1901 in Augsburg, Germany – 18 October 1990 in Stuttgart) was a German chemist.

Life and work

Goubeau studied chemistry at the University of Munich starting from 1921 and attained a doctorate there 1926 on the atomic weight regulation of the potassiumin the group of Otto Hönigschmid under the supervision of Eduard Zintl.[1] Subsequently, he worked at the University of Freiburg, the mountain academy Clausthal-Zellerfeld, where he made his postdoctoral lecture qualification in 1935 on the Raman effect in analytical chemistry.[1] Starting from 1940 he became a university teacher at the University of Göttingen, and since 1951 professor at the technical University of Stuttgart.[1] His focus of activity was the inorganic synthetic chemistry and spectroscopy of compounds of boron, silicon and phosphorus.[1] Most important was his fundamental work about vibrational spectroscopy and to force constants as measure of the strength of chemical bonds.[1][2]

Honours

Doctor HC of the Universities of Clausthal and Munich[1]
Alfred Stock Memorial Prize of the Society of German Chemists[1]
Member of the Academy of Sciences Leopoldina[2]

gollark: I'm trying to look up the composition of the Earth, because I figure a good way to remove the oxygen would be to react it with some readily available metal or whatever.

gollark: Use it directly, I mean.

gollark: Though I guess you just need to reduce it to 10% or so to stop humans from being able to use it.

gollark: A complicating factor here is that whatever process you need to either remove the oxygen from earth or bind it in some chemical will probably run less efficiently as the oxygen content declines.

gollark: Wikipedia puts the mass of the atmosphere at 5.15e18 kg.
