Catalysis pure: This Essay is an account of the institutional and scientific development of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr (Germany), which is the successor to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Kohlenforschung founded in 1914. It is an institute that has focused on catalysis for 100 years. Key historical events, organizational changes, and research highlights of four major periods are featured.
Abstract
This Essay is an account of the institutional and scientific development of the Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung in Mülheim an der Ruhr (Germany), which is the successor to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut für Kohlenforschung founded in 1914. The Essay is divided into four main parts, corresponding to the four major periods which are closely associated with the respective Directors of the Institute from 1914 to 2014: 1) Franz Fischer; 2) Karl Ziegler; 3) Günther Wilke; and 4) the period beginning with Manfred T. Reetz, who established a directorate comprising five Directors of equal status, each heading a different research department under the banner of catalysis. Along with key historical events associated with the Institute, research highlights of the four periods are featured.

- 105Throughout this Essay, I have used the terms “homogeneous catalyst” and “heterogeneous catalyst” as internationally practiced, although strictly speaking they should be replaced by “molecular catalyst” and “solid catalyst”, respectively. A process can be performed heterogeneously, but the catalytically active species may not be heterogeneous; for example, homogeneous when utilizing a metal net. I thank Ferdi Schüth for pointing this distinction out.
