Chemistry is fun because it is absolutely unpredictable. Young people should study chemistry because it is absolutely unpredictable! The most important thing I learned from my students is never take an explanation for granted, be critical about everything. My favorite book is Fermat's Last Theorem by Simon Singh. My favorite author (science) is Simon Singh. He was able to explain a very complex mathematical problem in a fascinating way by putting it into the historical context and telling the exciting story of the evolution of a mathematical proof of a long-standing theorem. What I appreciate most about my friends is their patience. Looking back over my career, I am grateful. If I could be any age I would be 45. My biggest inspiration is nature. My favorite time of day is the very early morning. The secret of being a successful scientist is to be open-minded, (self)critical, and curious. My science “heroes” are Walter Reppe, Walter Hieber, and Jean-Louis Roustan, visionary chemists working in the field of metal carbonyl chemistry. My 5 top papers: References 1“A Highly Regioselective Salt-Free Iron-Catalyzed Allylic Alkylation”: B. Plietker, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 1469; Angew. Chem. 2006, 118, 1497.

Plietker, Nat. Chem. 2011, 3, 938. (The development of this synthesis took us about eight years and represents a breakthrough in the field of PPAP synthesis.) 5“A Rechargeable Hydrogen Battery Based on Ru Catalysis”: S.-F. Hsu, S. Rommel, P. Eversfield, K. Muller, E. Klemm, W. R. Thiel, B. Plietker, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2014, 53, 7074; Angew. Chem. 2014, 126, 7194. (The Ru catalyst that Shi-Fan Hsu developed allowed both the CO2 reduction and the HCOOH decomposition without changing reactor/reaction medium.)
