    The Société Française de Chimie (1857-2007) as a Place for Thinking Chemistry in France Laurence Lestel* This contribution is related to the adventure of editing a biographic book on 88 French chemists to celebrate the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the French Society of Chemistry (Société Française de Chimie, SFC) in 2007. For its 50th and its 100th anniversaries, the Société published books about its history, including the presentation of the scientific contributions of its first Presidents [Cinquantenaire, Centenaire]. More than two years ago, the idea emerged to pub- lish a reference book on its presidents, which finally came out last January, under the name: Itinéraires de chimistes. 1857-2007. Some members of the Club d’his- toire de la chimie, a thematic group of the Société, developed the project and the SFC accepted to edit the book. After a short history of the beginning of the Société, the content of the book and the difficulties met will be presented. The Société Française de Chimie In 1857, three young chemists, Arnaudon, Collinet and Ubaldini, began to meet once a week to discuss their work and about the chemical papers and books pub- lished in France and abroad. The meeting place was a Parisian cafe, located Cour du Commerce, a passage which started at 130 boulevard Saint-Germain. They were soon joined by young chemists, often foreigners, who worked with Chevreul, Dumas, Sainte-Claire Deville, Berthelot or Balard. They founded a chemical group whose initial statutes were drafted in June 1857 [see Fournier, Fell and Rocke]. The first President, elected in June 30, 1857, was Jacques Arnaudon, a young Italian from Turin, 28 years old, who had been in France since 1855 for training in the laboratory of Chevreul.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS at Urbana-Champaign NO. 7, WINTER 1972-73 A Busy Week in June Seldom have so many worthy events been crowded into one week as have graced the people of the School of Chemical Sciences this June 9-15, 1972. Dr. H. E. Carter's portrait was hung in the Chemistry Library along with those of Parr, Noyes, and Adams; Dr. Philip Handler was honored at com­ mencement as a Distinguished Alumnus of the University; East Chemistry was dedicated as the Roger Adams Laboratory; and Alpha Chi Sigma held its Biennial National Conclave on our campus. Individually and in com­ bination these celebrations brought together in Urbana students, faculty, former faculty, alumni, distinguished guests, family, and friends from far corners. Roger Adams Laboratory Dedicated Several years ago, the Board of Trustees of the University ruled that campus buildings should have names that describe their function rather than names commemorating influential University people. Fortunately, however, the board modified this rule for a very special occasion last summer, and autho­ rized the changing of the name of East Chemistry Building to the Roger Adams Laboratory. The building was dedicated with this new name on Sun­ day, June 11, as the opening event of the Biennial National Conclave of the professional chemistry fraternity, Alpha Chi Sigma. Professor Gutowsky presided at the ceremony, introducing first Dr. J. W. Peltason, Chancellor of the Upiversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, who paid tribute to Professor Adams and his work.

    MY SEARCH FOR CARBOCATIONS AND THEIR ROLE IN CHEMISTRY Nobel Lecture, December 8, 1994 by G EORGE A. O L A H Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute and Department of Chemistry, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA 90089-1661, USA “Every generation of scientific men (i.e. scientists) starts where the previous generation left off; and the most advanced discov- eries of one age constitute elementary axioms of the next. - - - Aldous Huxley INTRODUCTION Hydrocarbons are compounds of the elements carbon and hydrogen. They make up natural gas and oil and thus are essential for our modern life. Burning of hydrocarbons is used to generate energy in our power plants and heat our homes. Derived gasoline and diesel oil propel our cars, trucks, air- planes. Hydrocarbons are also the feed-stock for practically every man-made material from plastics to pharmaceuticals. What nature is giving us needs, however, to be processed and modified. We will eventually also need to make hydrocarbons ourselves, as our natural resources are depleted. Many of the used processes are acid catalyzed involving chemical reactions proceeding through positive ion intermediates. Consequently, the knowledge of these intermediates and their chemistry is of substantial significance both as fun- damental, as well as practical science. Carbocations are the positive ions of carbon compounds. It was in 1901 that Norris la and Kehrman lb independently discovered that colorless triphe- nylmethyl alcohol gave deep yellow solutions in concentrated sulfuric acid. Triphenylmethyl chloride similarly formed orange complexes with alumi- num and tin chlorides. von Baeyer (Nobel Prize, 1905) should be credited for having recognized in 1902 the salt like character of the compounds for- med (equation 1).

MESDAMES, MESSIEURS, Depuis quelques mois la mort frappe à coups redoublés l'Académie -des sciences. La disparition de chacun de nos collègues nous cause une douloureuse impression, mais celle du professeur Moureu est plus particulièrement pénible. Dans la force de l'âge, en pleine acti- vité scientifique, il travaillait avec infiniment Ide.succès à la création et à la diffusion de la Science Française'; nous attendions encore beaueoup de lui. Maintenant ces espoirs sont vains; nous pouvons 268 CHARLESMOUREU seulement nous souvenir qu'il a été une gloire de notre patrie et nous devons le proclamer bien haut. Né en 1863 dans le département où il est revenu mourir, il se con- sacra de bonne heure à la science. Pharmacien, comme son frè- re aîné pour lequel il àvait une si grande amitié, il ne se dirigea pas vers la pratique du métier, mais orienta bientôt ses efforts vers la recherche scientifique et vers l'enseignement. Son premier travail, qui lui servit de thèse de doctorat, fut une étude sur l'acide acrylique. De là, il passa aux composés acétyléni- ques où il réussit de nouvelles et importantes synthèses. Nommé agrégé, puis professeur à l'École de Pharmacie, il aborda l'étude d'un certain nombre de produits extraits de végétaux: Euge- nol, Safrol, Estragol, Anéthol et Spartéine. Il poursuivit de longues recherches sur ce dernier corps, en détermina la nature exacte, la formule, la constitution moléculaire et en découvrit un nouvel iso- mère.
