Starting from 1940 he became a university teacher at the University of Göttingen, and since 1951 professor at the technical University of Stuttgart. His focus of activity was the inorganic synthetic chemistry and spectroscopy of compounds of boron, silicon and phosphorus.
Most important was his fundamental work about the Schwingungspektroskopie and to force constants as measure of the strength of chemical bonds.
