Edgar Heilbronner (May 13, 1921 – August 28, 2006) was a Swiss German chemist.[1] In 1964 he published the concept of Möbius cyclic annulenes,[2] but the first Möbius aromatic was not synthesized until 2003.[3][4]
Edgar Heilbronner was a professor at the ETH in Zürich, Switzerland for many years but then was offered a professorship in Basel, Switzerland where he spent the remainder of his career.
