Life and career

Reimann-Haas is the great-great-granddaughter of Karl Ludwig Reimann and comes from the wealthy entrepreneurial family Reimann. She is the oldest biological daughter of Albert Reimann from his illegitimate relationship with Emilie Landecker (1922-2017). In 1965, she was adopted by Albert together with her two siblings Wolfgang Reimann and Andrea Reimann-Ciardelli.

In 1984, Reimann-Haas inherited 11.1% of Joh. A. Benckiser GmbH from her father, which in 1999 merged with the British listed company Reckitt & Colman to form Reckitt Benckiser. In 2005, together with her brother Wolfgang and her half-siblings Stefan Reimann-Andersen and Matthias Reimann-Andersen, she founded the non-profit Benckiser Stiftung Zukunft. In 2019, as a result of the family's involvement with the Nazi regime, the foundation was transferred to the Alfred Landecker Foundation based in Berlin. [1]

Reiman-Haas holds a doctorate in chemistry and worked in the organic chemistry department at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research with Heinz A. Staab in Heidelberg until the mid-2000s. [2] Together, they published several specialist articles in the journal Angewandte Chemie. [3] [4]

Personal life

At her former place of residence in Laudenbach, Reimann-Haas was briefly chairwoman of the Musikverein Laudenbach e.V. and played the clarinet in the BigBand, [5] but otherwise lived an inconspicuous life. There are almost no interviews and photos of her. [6] [7]

Reimann-Haas is married and has three children, Evelin, Susanne and Martin Haas. In 2006, she acquired Austrian citizenship and has not lived in Germany since. Forbes estimated her net worth at $3.9 billion in 2021. [8]

In coordination chemistry, a coordinate covalent bond, also known as a dative bond, dipolar bond, or coordinate bond is a kind of two-center, two-electron covalent bond in which the two electrons derive from the same atom. The bonding of metal ions to ligands involves this kind of interaction. This type of interaction is central to Lewis acid–base theory.

Within the area of organocatalysis, (thio)urea organocatalysis describes the use of ureas and thioureas to accelerate and stereochemically alter organic transformations. The effects arise through hydrogen-bonding interactions between the substrate and the (thio)urea. Unlike classical catalysts, these organocatalysts interact by non-covalent interactions, especially hydrogen bonding. The scope of these small-molecule H-bond donors termed (thio)urea organocatalysis covers both non-stereoselective and stereoselective applications.

Among pnictogen group Lewis acidic compounds, unusual lewis acidity of Lewis acidic antimony compounds have long been exploited as both stable conjugate acids of non-coordinating anions, and strong Lewis acid counterparts of well-known superacids. Also, Lewis-acidic antimony compounds have recently been investigated to extend the chemistry of boron because of the isolobal analogy between the vacant p orbital of borane and σ*(Sb–X) orbitals of stiborane, and the similar electronegativities of antimony (2.05) and boron (2.04).

Homoleptic azido compounds are chemical compounds in which the only anion or ligand is the azide group, -N3. The breadth of homoleptic azide compounds spans nearly the entire periodic table. With rare exceptions azido compounds are highly shock sensitive and need to be handled with the upmost caution. Binary azide compounds can take on several different structures including discrete compounds, or one- two, and three-dimensional nets, leading some to dub them as "polyazides". Reactivity studies of azide compounds are relatively limited due to how sensitive they can be. The sensitivity of these compounds tends to be correlated with the amount of ionic or covalent character the azide-element bond has, with ionic character being far more stable than covalent character. Therefore, compounds such as silver or sodium azide – which have strong ionic character – tend to possess more synthetic utility than their covalent counterparts. A few other notable exceptions include polymeric networks which possess unique magnetic properties, group 13 azides which unlike most other azides decompose to nitride compounds (important materials for semiconductors), other limited uses as synthetic reagents for the transfer for azide groups, or interest in high energy density materials.
