[O’Neil M, J et al, 2001, Merk index 13th edition, Merk and Co Inc, New Jersey pg 547] Dissatisfied academic life and having failed to obtain either of two positions at universities, he left academia to become Director of Research at Siemens and Halske. He died on November 3, 1923, of complications following surgery forcancer .His great-grandfather was the German
theologian Heinrich Harries .Accomplishments
He investigated
polymers andrubber . He showed that rubber consisted of repeating units. He established experimental procedures for ozonolysis, demonstrated the generality of the reaction ofunsaturated compound s with ozone, and showed that ozone could be used for the synthesis of a variety of compounds.
