Alexander Paul Friedrich Eibner (1862–1935), was a German chemist, painter, and educator.[1] He was known for his technical painting techniques.
Early life and education
Alexander Eibner, was born on September 11, 1862, in Munich.[2] He was the son of Luise Weissenberger, and painter Friedrich Eibner.[1][2] Eibner studied chemistry at the Technical University of Munich, under Wilhelm von Miller and he obtained a doctorate degree in 1892.[2]
Career
By 1894, he qualified as a professor, and began researching aromaticity in organic chemistry.[1] He studied the bleaching of pigment of Prussian Blue using zinc oxide.[3][4] Through that research he introduced the concept of photocatalysis in 1911.[5]
In 1903, Eibner became assistant to chemist at the newly founded Research Institute and Information Center for Painting Techniques, promoting the scientific study of the nature and the properties of painting materials.[2] Starting in 1907, Eibner lead the Research Institute and Information Center for Painting Techniques, which closed after his death.[6]
He died on May 1, 1935, in Munich. He is buried at Alter Südfriedhof cemetery, near his father.
