内容简介：
【简介】 The Department consists of five institutes and laboratories:
Institute for Chemical and Bio-Engineering Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences Laboratory for Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory for Organic Chemistry Laboratory for Physical Chemistry
The department is perhaps one of the most prestigious research and teaching centres in chemistry in the world. It has an international faculty of some 37 research professors (assistant, associate, and full professors) under which about 600 doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows from more than 26 countries are currently working. These figures make the Department one of the largest of its kind and has been described as having "some of the finest research and teaching facilities" in the world. Indeed, Some of the biggest names in chemistry are presently associated with ETH — Albert Eschenmoser, Jack Dunitz, Alfons Baiker, Willem Koppenol, Francois Diederich, Dieter Seebach, Roel Prins, Richard Ernst, Wilfred van Gunsteren, and Kurt Wüthrich.
ETH is proud of its run of Nobel chemistry laureates some of whom are cited above but who also include: Vladimir Prelog (1975 winner), Hermann Staudinger (1953), Peter Debye (1936), Paul Karrer (1937), Richard Kuhn (1938), Leopold Ruzicka (1939), Alfred Werner (1913), Richard Willst?tter (1915), and of course Fritz Haber (1918).
ISI statistics support ETH's current position as one of the most important research centres for chemistry in the world. It always ranks highly in their citation analyses. And, at the individual level many of its researchers rank highly. Willem Koppenol who has been with ETH Zurich since 1994 is head of the Bioinorganic and Solution Chemistry Group has one of the top 15 most-cited papers in his field (Peroxynitrite, a cloaked oxidant formed by nitric oxide and superoxide. Chem Res Toxicol 1992, 5:834–842).
