Jørgensen taught chemistry at the University of Copenhagen. He devoted himself almost exclusively to the study of compounds of Co, Cr, Rh, and Pt, and in particular, to their metal ammines. He was a methodical and deliberate worker, who first prepared and investigated many of the compounds that figured in his controversy with Werner. A preference for facts and a strong sense of history caused him to be very suspicious of hypotheses that were not well supported by scientific evidence.
