Fritz Vögtle, Professor Emeritus of Organic Chemistry and former Director of the Kekulé Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Bonn passed away on January 3, 2017. He was significantly involved in the development of supramolecular chemistry as a new and seminal research field, and his outstanding achievements, including dendrimer, catenane, rotaxane, and knot synthesis, brought this area to both national and international attention.
