Gerd Becker, professor emeritus at the University of Stuttgart, passed away on January 10, 2017. Becker was a pioneer in the field of phosphorus chemistry and his work on phosphorus compounds containing double and triple bonds to carbon atoms transgressed the classic bonding concepts for the main‐group elements and led to applications in transition‐metal chemistry as well as organic synthesis.
