摘要

Ernst Otto Fischer (1918–2007) was a German organometallic chemist, well-known for his seminal contribution to the field of organometallic ‘sandwich’ compounds. The 1973 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded jointly to E. O. Fischer and Geoffrey Wilkinson (1921–1996) of the UK, “for their pioneering work, performed independently, on the chemistry of the organometallic sandwich compounds”. Other than the chemistry of sandwich complexes, Fischer also developed and pioneered the field of transition metal-alkylidene and -alkylidyne (known as Fischer carbene and Fischer carbyne) complexes. This article briefly highlights the work of E. O. Fisher and his legacy.
