    THE LONG SEARCH FOR STABLE TRANSITION METAL ALKYLS Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1973 by G EOFFREY W ILKINSON Imperial College of Science & Technology, London, England Chemical compounds in which there is a single bond between a saturated car- bon atom and a transition metal atom are of unusual importance. Quite aside from the significance and role in Nature of the cobalt to carbon bonds in the vitamin B 12 system and possible metal to carbon bonds in other biological systems, we need only consider that during the time taken to deliver this lec- ture, many thousands, if not tens of thousands of tons of chemical compounds are being transformed or synthesised industrially in processes which at some stage involve a transition metal to carbon bond. The nonchemist will pro- bably be most familiar with polyethylene or polypropylene in the form of do- mestic utensils, packaging materials, children’s toys and so on. These materials are made by Ziegler-Natta* or Philipps’ catalysis using titanium and chro- mium respectively. However, transition metal compounds are used as catalysts in the synthesis of synthetic rubbers and other polymers, and of a variety of simple compounds used as industrial solvents or intermediates. For example alcohols are made from olefins, carbon monoxide and hydrogen by use of cobalt or rhodium catalysts, acetic acid is made by carbonylation of methanol using rhodium catalysts and acrylonitrile is dimerised to adiponitrile (for nylon) by nickel catalysts. We should also not forget that the huge quantities of petroleum hydrocarbons processed by the oil and petrochemical industry are re-formed over platinum, platinum-rhenium or platinum-germanium sup- ported on alumina.

  • Manchester University and the City: Aspects of Policy-Making in Higher Education, 1900-1930
    Manchester University and the City: Aspects of Policy-Making in Higher Education, 1900-1930 COLIN LEES AND ALEX ROBERTSON School of Education, University of Manchester It is generally agreed that the most characteristic aspect of the new 'civic' university colleges of the second half of the nineteenth century was involvement in the life of their community. 1 There can have been no better example of this than Owens College, the first of the civics in 1851. Until the re-foundation of 1871 the trustees were closely involved in the political, commercial and industrial life of the city and, by John Owens's will, they were required to live within a fifty-mile radius. Also by a clause of the will students were to be recruited as far as possible from the parliamentary borough. The first generation of professors, including the unworldly first principal, Alexander Scott, were acutely aware of the necessity of acknowledging the expectations and needs of those social groups without which the college would not survive, and the Science Faculty, in particular, spearheaded by Henry Roscoe, engaged in local consultancy work and shaped courses to local needs.2 More dramatically, for many years the college absorbed or co-operated with local institutions. In the early years the Lancashire Independent College sent its theological students to the Classics Department and evening work for elementary school teachers formed the basis, almost from the beginning, of the remarkable evening classes which gave access to higher education to Mancunians from many walks of life until the end of the century. In 1861 the Working Man's College merged after three years of 1 S.

  • Hand-List of the Jevons Archives in the John Rylands University Library of Manchester
    HAND-LIST OF THE JEVONS ARCHIVES IN THE JOHN RYLANDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY OF MANCHESTER by PETER McNIVEN, M.A., Ph.D. SUB-LIBRARIAN, ARCHIVES, THE JOHN RYLANDS UNIVERSITY LIBRARY The Jevons archives in the John Rylands University Library of Manchester, which are recorded in the list which follows, originated from two main sources. The greater part of the collec- tion comprises material given to the Library by Mrs Rosamond Konekamp, daughter of William Stanley Jevons's son Herbert Stanley. A first instalment consisting of papers relating to Jevons's professional career was deposited in the Library in 1961, and a quantity of family and other personal material was added in 1971. An exhibition of selections from these papers was held in the University Library in the Autumn of 1971 in connection with a History of Economic Thought Conference which took place in September. These archives have been recognised, since the 1960s, as a rich source of original material relating to the life and work of William Stanley Jevons,' best known for his studies in Political Economy, though they also contain a substantial body of material on other members of his family. They were used extensively in the production of the standard edition of Jevons's papers by Professor R. D. Collison Black and Mrs Konekamp (Macmillan, London, 1972-8 1, in 7 volumes). The second, smaller group consisted of papers relating to William Stanley Jevons which were originally entrusted to Dr Wolfe Mays, of Manchester University's Department of Philosophy, by Professor Herbert Stanley Jevons. These were eventually donated to the Library in 1978.
