Hans Bock studied chemistry at the University of Munich, where he received his PhD in 1958 for his work on water-free hydrazine in the group of Egon Wiberg.[1] In 1964 he received his post doctoral lecture qualification after work on phosphorus containing diacenes in the same research group. Subsequently, he had a three-year visit in the group of Edgar Heilbronner at ETH Zurich/Switzerland, where he worked on applications of the HMO-model, leading to the textbook: The HMO model and its application.
In 1968 he was announced full professor for inorganic chemistry at the University of Frankfurt.[2]
Bock is the author and co-author of more than 500 publications in peer-reviewed journals. His research focused on preparation of element-organic compounds and their characterisation by appropriate physical measurement methods. Main focus was set on development and application of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for detection and characterisation of transient molecules.[3]
He proposed the use of the super silyl group in 1993.

He was external member of Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and became adjunct professor at University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) and TU München. He received two honorary doctorates by universities of Hamburg and Montpellier/France.
In 1987 he received the Wilhelm-Klemm-Award[4] by the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh).
