Klaus Köhler is a Professor Emeritus of Inorganic Chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, where he has been since 1996. He obtained his diploma in 1985 and his doctoral degree (Dr. rer. Nat.) in 1988 from the University of Leipzig. His career includes postdoctoral positions at the University of Fribourg, ETH Zurich, and the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin. He completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Berlin in 1996 before accepting his professorship at TUM. Köhler's research primarily focuses on the preparation and characterization of catalytic properties of molecular transition metal compounds, with an emphasis on surface organometallic chemistry and molecular heterogeneous catalysis. His work includes the synthesis of solids and the modification of surfaces aimed at developing new materials and catalysts with tailored properties. His studies involve catalytic reactions such as nitrogen oxide abatement, selective oxidation of hydrocarbons, hydrogenation, fine chemical synthesis, and carbon-carbon coupling reactions.
