Körner, who later established his career in Italy, became a student of Cannizzaro during the 10-year period (beginning in 1861) that Cannizzaro spent teaching at the university in his native Palermo. Körner is noted for his significant contributions to organic chemistry, particularly his method for determining the relative positions of substituents on the benzene ring.12
