معرفی
Berthold Hoge is a Professor in the Faculty of Chemistry at Bielefeld University, specializing in Inorganic Chemistry II. He maintains an active research program focused on main-group element chemistry, particularly fluorine-containing compounds and Lewis acids. His office is located in UHG E4-141, and he can be reached at +49 521 106-6183.
Prof. Hoge's research interests center on inorganic chemistry, with particular emphasis on main-group element chemistry, fluorine chemistry, Lewis acids, and coordination chemistry. His work has led to numerous publications on pentafluoroethyl compounds, phosphorus chemistry, gallium and indium chemistry, and halogen bonding. He has made significant contributions to the understanding of Lewis superacids, water-stable compounds, and novel structural motifs in inorganic chemistry.
His recent publications reveal a strong trend toward the development of novel main-group element compounds with applications in catalysis, separation science, and materials development. His work on phosphoranides, gallate and indate salts, and chalcogen bonding demonstrates both fundamental chemical insights and potential practical applications. The consistent focus on fluorine chemistry and electron-withdrawing groups indicates a specialized expertise in manipulating reactivity through electronic effects.
Prof. Hoge serves in multiple administrative roles within the Faculty of Chemistry, including membership on the Commission for Admission to the Placement and Entrance Examination, the Faculty Conference, and the Selection Delegation for the Master Chemistry program. He is also involved with BiSEd and IT Support for Chemistry Working Groups.
In his teaching capacity, Prof. Hoge is responsible for numerous modules across the chemistry curriculum, including General Chemistry (Theory and Practice), Inorganic Chemistry (Basic and Advanced levels), and specialized research internships in synthesis. His teaching responsibilities span both theoretical and practical components across multiple credit levels.
