Hansgeorg Schnöckel

German chemist and university teacher

Hansgeorg Schnöckel, born 1941 in Marienburg, is a German chemist and emeritus Professor of analytical chemistry at the Karlsruher Institut für Technologie.[1] He gained renown for studies on reduced silicon and aluminium compounds.[2]

Schnöckel studied chemistry at the University of Münster under the direction of H. J. Becher focused on spektroscopic studies of boron compounds.[3] In 1981 he finished his habilitation on matrix isolation of reactive silicon oxides. He was Professor in Münster und Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. In 1993 he assumed the professorship in Karlsruhe.

[Cp*Al]4 was discovered by the Schnöckel group.
