The Faculty of Natural Sciences sadly announces the loss of Prof. Dr. Friedrich Bölsing.
Professor Bölsing worked as a university professor at the Institute of Organic Chemistry at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz University of Hannover until his retirement in 1993. His main areas of research and teaching were mechanistic investigations of the process of organic chemical reactions using photochemical methods, the structural elucidation of reactive intermediates, the optimisation of semi-empirical methods for calculating molecular properties and the application of quantum mechanical computational methods to determine the structure and reactivity of organic molecules.
With his passing, the Faculty of Natural Sciences loses a highly esteemed, dedicated researcher and academic teacher.
We will honour his memory and always remember his work with gratitude.
Our condolences are with his family.
