Roeland Nolte
Roeland J. M. Nolte (16 December 1944 – 15 February 2024) was a Dutch chemist, known for his work in the fields of
organic chemistry,
biochemistry,
polymer chemistry, and
supramolecular chemistry. He was an emeritus
Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences professor and an emeritus professor of organic chemistry at
Radboud University in
Nijmegen, The Netherlands. Until his death, he held a special chair, i.e. professor of
molecular nanotechnology, at Radboud University. Nolte was considered to be one of the pioneers of the field of supramolecular chemistry, which encompasses the design and synthesis of new
chemical structures from low molecular weight compounds and
biopolymers using
non-covalent interactions. He published many studies on
supramolecular assembly and biomimetic catalysts, which find applications in the field of
nanomaterials and
medicine.
