Why Is Bernhard Tollens Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Bernhard Christian Gottfried Tollens was a German chemist. Life and work Tollens attended school at the Gelehrtenschule des Johanneums in Hamburg where he was influenced by his science teacher, Karl Möbius. After graduating in 1857, Tollens started an apprenticeship in pharmacy. He finished in 1862 and began studying chemistry in Göttingen in Wöhler's laboratory, then supervised by Friedrich Konrad Beilstein and Wilhelm Rudolph Fittig. In 1864, Tollens submitted his thesis and received his Ph.D. without a defense. The latter was possible through the intercession of Wöhler so that Tollens could accept and begin an attractive job at a bronze factory. Tollens left the job after six months and joined the group of Emil Erlenmeyer at the University of Heidelberg for six months. He later worked with Charles-Adolphe Wurtz in Paris and, for 11 months, as chief of the chemical laboratory at the University of Coimbra in Portugal.
