Er forschte und lehrte 1867-1896 am Chemischen Institut der Universität Bonn und legte dort u.a. die Grundlagen für die moderne Strukturtheorie der organischen Chemie. Insbesondere seine Forschungen zum Benzolmolekül, zur Bindungstheorie sowie die Entdeckung der Azokupplung haben dazu beigetragen. Seine Arbeiten führten zu einem Boom der deutschen Chemieindustrie, insbesondere der Farbstoffhersteller.
