Biography
About
Ernst Otto Fischer was born on 10 November 1918 in Germany. He built a career in chemistry that led him into uncharted molecular territory: the borderland where metals meet organic molecules. His pioneering work in organometallic chemistry—compounds that marry metal atoms to carbon-based structures—redrew the field's foundations and earned him the Nobel Prize. He continued working for decades after the award, and died on 23 July 2007.
