He studied chemistry at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München starting from 1921 and attained a doctorate there 1926 on the atomic weight regulation of the potassiumin the group of Otto Hönigschmid under the supervision of Eduard Zintl.[1] Subsequently, he worked at the University of Freiburg, the mountain academy Clausthal-Zellerfeld, where he made his postdoctoral lecture qualification in 1935 on the Raman effect in analytical chemistry.[1] Starting from 1940, he became a university teacher at the University of Göttingen, and from 1951 professor at the Technische Hochschule Stuttgart.[1] His focus of activity was the inorganic synthetic chemistry and spectroscopy of compounds of boron, silicon and phosphorus.[1] Most important was his fundamental work about vibrational spectroscopy and to force constants as measure of the strength of chemical bonds.[1][2]
Goubeau died on 18 October 1990 in Stuttgart, at the age of 89.[1]
