August 30, 2010 Jacob Bigeleisen, Isotope Chemist on Manhattan Project, Dies at 91 By KENNETH CHANG Jacob Bigeleisen, a chemist who worked on the development of the atomic bomb as part of the Manhattan Project and helped discover new ways of analyzing chemical reactions, died Aug. 7 in Arlington, Va. He was 91. The cause was pulmonary disease, his son Ira said. Dr. Bigeleisen (pronounced BEEG-a-lie-zen) was a founder of the field called isotope chemistry. Isotopes are versions of an element that have almost the same chemical properties but different atomic weights. Dr. Bigeleisen’s initial foray into the field was one of wartime need. In 1943, he began working at Columbia University as part of the Manhattan Project, seeking to develop a chemical process to separate uranium-235, the radioactive isotope needed to make an atomic bomb, from the more bountiful isotope uranium-238. The approach Dr. Bigeleisen tried, using photochemistry, did not prove practical for producing large quantities of uranium-235 needed for the bombs. Ultimately, gaseous diffusion was used. But the research, by Dr. Bigeleisen and Maria Goeppert-Mayer, who would later win a Nobel Prize in Physics, resulted in a simple theory for calculating the behavior of isotopes in gaseous reactions, which helped open the new field of isotope chemistry.

    Jacob Bigeleisen 1919–2010 A Biographical Memoir by Alexander Van Hook ©2014 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. JACOB BIGELEISEN May 2, 1919–August 7, 2010 Elected to the NAS, 1966 Jacob Bigeleisen did seminal work in the 1940s on the effect of isotopic substitution on chemical equilibria and on isotope separation. For some 60 years thereafter he continued with studies of isotope effects on chem- ical kinetics, reaction mechanisms, and molecular and condensed phase properties, isotope effects in geochem- istry, and refinements to the theory of isotope separa- tions. Consequently his theoretical contributions have had an enormous effect on a number of areas of research. For example, the use of kinetic isotope effects to deduce mechanistic paths and transition state structures is now a major research tool in organic chemistry, biochem- istry, and enzymatics, with hundreds of papers appearing By Alexander Van Hook1 each year. Professor Bigeleisen’s efforts, however, were not constrained to theory alone. He was responsible for a series of insightful experimental studies involving the effect of isotope substitution on condensed-phase properties of the rare gases, on a number of H/D substituted hydrocarbons, and on other molecules. Bigeleisen also played a key role in the development of most of the important isotope separation processes employed by the U. S. Department of Energy and its predecessor, the Atomic Energy Commission. Finally, Bigeleisen was extremely active in service to his profession, to university adminis- tration, to the National Academy of Sciences, and to the Gordon Research Conferences.

Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1995 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. HAROLD CLAYTON UREY April 29, 1893–January 5, 1981 BY JAMES R. ARNOLD, JACOB BIGELEISEN, AND CLYDE A. HUTCHISON JR. AROLD UREY WAS A SCIENTIST whose interests, accomplish- Hments, and influence spanned the disciplines of chem- istry, astronomy, astrophysics, geology, geophysics, and biol- ogy. Although he was meticulous in his attention to detail, his sights were always on broad questions at the forefront of knowledge. His unusual powers of concentration and capacity for hard work accounted for much of his success in exploring and opening up major new fields of research, including his discovery of deuterium and work on isotope chemistry, isotope separation, isotope geology, and cosmo- chemistry. Urey’s approach to a new area began with his becoming thoroughly familiar with what was known about the subject of his curiosity and then the formulation of a theory to explain a large amount of uncorrelated material, which was then followed by carefully planned experiments. The latter frequently involved the design of new experi- mental equipment beyond the state of the art.
