The "Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh)" has awarded the "Karl-Ziegler-Preis 2009" to Paul Knochel for his research work between the fields of organometallic chemistry, organic chemistry and catalysis.
Paul Knochel received an Advanced Investigator Grant (2.000.000 €) for research on "new metalorganic compounds" from the European Research Council (ERC).
Paul Knochel is elected to be a Member of the Bavarian Academy of Science 2008
Paul Knochel is elected to be a Member of the Académie des sciences (Paris) 2007
The "Eli Lilly and Company" has awarded the "Lilly European Distinguished Lectureship Award 2007" to Paul Knochel for his research work on Organic Synthesis.
The "Handbook of Functionalized Organometallics" (edited by Prof. Knochel, 671 pages) has been published on Wiley-VCH (ISBN 3-527-31131-9). It covers the field of organometallics entirely, not merely focusing on one single metal.
