Heinrich Lang studied chemistry at the University of Constance, where he graduated in Chemistry (Diploma, 1982; PhD, 1985) under the supervision of G. Huttner. Afterwards he spent two years as a postdoctoral fellow (DFG) at M.I.T. with D. Seyferth. He joined the Faculty at the Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg in 1988, where he received his Habilitation in 1992. From 1992 until 1996 he held the position of a Privat-Dozent as a Heisenberg fellow (DFG) at the same University. Since 1996 he has been a full professor (holding the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry) at TU Chemnitz. The call to TU Kaiserslautern in 2003 was not taken. Since 2008 Prof. Lang is Adjunct Faculty of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, U.S.A. He is member of scientific and editorial advisory boards, and has published 790 Peer-reviewed papers and received honors and awards. His Hirsch-Index is 50. Between 2012 2016 he has been vice-president of TU Chemnitz for Research and Promotion of Young Scientists. His research interests are in organometallic and metal-organic chemistry, electron transfer studies, 2D-printing, gas-phase deposition processes, and homogeneous catalysis. He is also interested in topics such as hybrid- and nanomaterials including metal and metal oxide nanoparticles and their embedding in polymers and is researching the field of phoryphrins. Tobias Rüffer joined the chemical company Leuna-Werke for a professional education as chemical engineer conducted at the Ingenieurschule für Chemie Justus von Liebig in Magdeburg. After one year R&D work experience in heterogeneous catalysis in Leuna he started to study chemistry at the TH Carl Schorlemmer Leuna-Merseburg, and later on at the MLU Halle-Wittenberg. During his diploma studies he went for one semester to the group of Gyula Palyi at Modena university, while during his diploma thesis he visited the group of Roland Boese at Universität Essen to perform crystallographic studies. He received his PhD in 1999 under supervision of Dirk Steinborn (MLU Halle-Wittenberg) in main-group organometallic chemistry. After a two-year post-doc stay at Osaka University in the group of Kazushi Mashima he joined the working group of Heinrich Lang at TU Chemnitz and is recently finishing his habilitation. His research interests are focused on coordination chemistry of magnetically active compounds, low-temperature decomposable 3d-transition metal compounds, crystallography and recently the synthesis of porphyrinoids for material science application.
