The Gold Nagoya Medal of Organic Chemistry 2012 has been awarded to Paul Knochel.
The Gold Medal is awarded every year to an organic chemist who has made significant original contributions to the field in its broadest sense.
Paul Knochel is the Winner of the 2011 EROS (Encyclopedia of Reagents for Organic Synthesis) Best Reagent Award.
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 organometallic compounds" from the European Research Council (ERC).
