Adolf von Baeyer, German Organic Chemist

Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Baeyer (October 31, 1835 - August 20, 1917) was a German chemist. He initially studied mathematics and physics at Berlin University before moving to Heidelberg to study chemistry with Robert Bunsen. His chief achievements include the synthesis and description of the plant dye indigo, the discovery of the phthalein dyes, and the investigation of polyacetylenes, oxonium salts, nitroso compounds and uric acid derivatives. His contributions to theoretical chemistry include the Spannung theory of triple bonds and strain theory in small carbon rings. In 1905 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
