Eduard Buchner (1860-1917), a German chemist and zymologist who was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on fermentation, informs Wilhelm Ostwald that he has discovered a remarkable property of anhydrous citric acid. As a result, Buchner requests that the electrolytic conductivity of anhydrous citric acid be measured at Ostwald's institute in Leipzig.
