Sebastian Hasenstab-Riedel (born 5 September 1975) is a German chemist and professor of inorganic chemistry at the Freie University of Berlin. His research focuses on inorganic molecular chemistry, halogen chemistry, high oxidation states, polyhalogen compounds, fluorine-specific interactions and reactive halogen-containing compounds.[1]
Education and career
[edit]Hasenstab-Riedel trained as a chemical laboratory technician at Siemens and Degussa in Hanau-Wolfgang from 1993 to 1996. He subsequently studied chemistry at the University of Siegen and the University of Würzburg. He received his doctorate in theoretical chemistry from the University of Würzburg in 2006 under the supervision of Martin Kaupp. His doctoral research concerned the highest oxidation states of the 5d transition metals.[1]
From 2006 to 2007, he carried out postdoctoral research at the University of Helsinki, working with Pekka Pyykkö in theoretical chemistry and Markku Räsänen in matrix-isolation spectroscopy. He subsequently worked with Gary J. Schrobilgen at McMaster University in Canada.[1]
In 2013, Hasenstab-Riedel completed his habilitation at the University of Freiburg. In the same year, he was appointed professor of inorganic chemistry at the Freie University of Berlin, succeeding Konrad Seppelt.[1][2]
Since 2019, he has been associated with the Collaborative Research Centre 1349 Fluorine-Specific Interactions: Fundamentals and Function at Freie University of Berlin.[3]
In 2020, he received a European Research Council Consolidator Grant for the project HighPotOx, concerned with highly potent oxidizing agents.[3] In 2021, he was appointed an Einstein Professor for inorganic chemistry by the Einstein Foundation Berlin.[1]
In 2025, Hasenstab-Riedel became founding director of the Center for Sustainable Resources (CSR|Berlin) at Freie University of Berlin.[1]
Research
[edit]Hasenstab-Riedel's research covers inorganic molecular chemistry and halogen chemistry, including high oxidation states, polyhalogen compounds, strong acids, fluorine-specific interactions and matrix-isolation spectroscopy.[1][2]
In 2014, he was a co-author of a study reporting an iridium-containing compound assigned a formal oxidation state of +IX.[4]
His research has also addressed the structure and bonding of polyhalogen species. In 2021, he was a co-author of a study on the electronic structure and bonding in the trichloride ion [Cl3]−.[5]
Another area of his research concerns fluorine-containing reactive intermediates. In 2021, he was a co-author of a study reporting structural evidence for a fluoronium cation with a three-center C–F–C bonding arrangement.[6]
His group has also investigated polyhalide chemistry and ionic liquids for chlorine-related applications. A 2024 study reported bichloride-based ionic liquids for the integrated storage, processing and electrolysis of hydrogen chloride.[7]
In 2023, Hasenstab-Riedel and collaborators received the Research Award of the Werner Siemens Foundation for the ChemSysCon project, which investigates chemical systems for more sustainable resource utilization.[8]
