Alfred Werner

1866–1919

Alfred Werner (1866–1919) was a Swiss chemist who revolutionized inorganic chemistry by proposing the coordination theory, which explained the structure of complex compounds. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1913 for his work on the linkage of atoms in molecules, particularly his elucidation of octahedral and other geometries for coordination complexes. His ideas laid the foundation for modern coordination chemistry and challenged prevailing valence theories.
