Biography
He graduated from the Munich Higher Technical School in 1949 . Since 1959, a professor at the University of Munich, since 1964 a professor at the Munich Higher Technical School (now Technical University), since 1969, the director of the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry in Munich.
Works
Fisher determined the structure of ferrocene , synthesized dibenzenechrome from benzene and CrCl 3 in the presence of AlCl 3 ( 1955 ), developed a general method for the synthesis of arene (containing an aromatic core) derivatives of transition metals , and for the first time obtained arenecarbonyl, arencyclopentadienyl and other mixed π-complexes of transition metals. He showed that these compounds decompose upon heating to form a “metal mirror”, which can be used to produce ultrapure metals. For the first time, Fischer synthesized a number of organometallic compounds of technetium and transuranium elements , obtained stable carbene complexes of transition metals ( 1964 ), and later their carbine complexes ( 1973 ).
