Chemical and Engineering News Top 75 Chemists Chemical & Engineering News January 12, 1998 Copyright © 1998 by the American Chemical Society C&EN's Top 75 Editor's Note: Over the course of three months in 1997, we asked C&EN readers to nominate their choices for C&EN's" Top 75 Distinguished Contributors to the Chemical Enterprise" during the 75 years of C&EN's existence. Using a ballot in the magazine, readers could nominate up to 20 people, living or dead. We urged nominators to think broadly and globally. Readers nominated more than 1,200 individuals. The result-a readers' choice of "C&EN's Top 75"-follows. The list was compiled and researched by Diana Slade and Maureen Rouhi at C&EN headquarters in Washington, D.C. The top four vote getters by far were Linus Pauling, Robert B. Woodward, Glenn Seaborg, and Wallace Carothers. After that, the votes were close. The list includes 32 living scientists and contains 35 Nobel Prize winners, 28 recipients of the American Chemical Society's prestigious Priestley Medal, and 10 winners of the ACS Arthur C. Cope Award. Collectively, the group holds 25 National Medals of Science and three National Medals of Technology. The list is a "Who's Who" of outstanding researchers, people who helped transform the nature of the chemical industry, and influential teachers. Readers have come up with a superlative group of contributors, representing the diversity within the far- flung chemical enterprise. Chemistry is an endeavor populated by an extraordinarily large number of exceptionally talented people. Thus, it is inevitable that the list does not contain all the many well- known and brilliant contributors to the chemical enterprise-including many Nobel Prize winners-in industry, academe, and government. C&EN's goal in its 75th anniversary year is to highlight the important contributions that chemists and chemical engineers have made to society at large. We thank our readers for helping us do just that, we salute all of the contributors to the chemical enterprise, and we invite you to attend the Presidential Event at the ACS national meeting in Boston on Aug. 23, where ACS President Paul H. L. Walter will celebrate and honor C&EN's Top 75.

  • Edward M. Eyring
    The Chemistry Department 1946-2000 Written by: Edward M. Eyring Assisted by: April K. Heiselt & Kelly Erickson Henry Eyring and the Birth of a Graduate Program In January 1946, Dr. A. Ray Olpin, a physicist, took command of the University of Utah. He recruited a number of senior people to his administration who also became faculty members in various academic departments. Two of these administrators were chemists: Henry Eyring, a professor at Princeton University, and Carl J. Christensen, a research scientist at Bell Laboratories. In the year 2000, the Chemistry Department attempts to hire a distinguished senior faculty member by inviting him or her to teach a short course for several weeks as a visiting professor. The distinguished visitor gets the opportunity to become acquainted with the department and some of the aspects of Utah (skiing, national parks, geodes, etc.) and the faculty discover whether the visitor is someone they can live with. The hiring of Henry Eyring did not fit this mold because he was sought first and foremost to beef up the graduate program for the entire University rather than just to be a faculty member in the Chemistry Department. Had the Chemistry Department refused to accept Henry Eyring as a full professor, he probably would have been accepted by the Metallurgy Department, where he had a courtesy faculty appointment for many years. Sometime in early 1946, President Olpin visited Princeton, NJ, and offered Henry a position as the Dean of the Graduate School at the University of Utah. Henry was in his scientific heyday having published two influential textbooks (Samuel Glasstone, Keith J.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 2008 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON, D.C. Photograph Credit Here. HERBERT CHARLES BROWN May 22, 1912–December 19, 2004 BY EI -ICH I NEGISHI ERBERT CHARLES BROWN, R. B. Wetherill Research Profes- Hsor Emeritus of Purdue University and one of the truly pioneering giants in the field of organic-organometallic chemistry, died of a heart attack on December 19, 2004, at age 92. As it so happened, this author visited him at his home to discuss with him an urgent chemistry-related matter only about 10 hours before his death. For his age he appeared well, showing no sign of his sudden death the next morn- ing. His wife, Sarah Baylen Brown, 89, followed him on May 29, 2005. They were survived by their only child, Charles A. Brown of Hitachi Ltd. and his family. H. C. Brown shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1979 with G. Wittig of Heidelberg, Germany. Their pioneering explorations of boron chemistry and phosphorus chemistry, respectively, were recognized. Aside from several biochemists, including V. du Vigneaud in 1955, H. C. Brown was only the second American organic chemist to win a Nobel Prize behind R. B. Woodward, in 1965. His several most significant contribu- tions in the area of boron chemistry include (1) codiscovery of sodium borohyride (1972[1], pp.

  • Alumni Newsletter
    ALUMNI NEWSLETTER SCHOOL OF CHEMICAL SCIENCES UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS at Urbana-Champaign NO. 11, WINTER 1976-77 The State of the Union (Comments by H. S. Gutowsky, director of the School of Chemical Sciences) Following the tradition of the last three issues of the Alumni Newsletter, I have put together a synopsis of some selected material that appears in much more detail in the 1975-76 Annual Report of the School of Chemical Sci­ ences and is not covered elsewhere in this issue. If you would like more details, let me know and I will be happy to forward you a copy of the com­ plete annual report. Instructional Program Two steps were taken dw·ing the past year to address the fact that 75 per­ cent or more of our chemistry graduates take positions in industry without learning much in their programs about the nature of industrial careers. Professor Peter Beak organized a special topics course, Chemistry 433, Re­ search in Industry, given in the fall semester. Early in the course, Dr. J. K. Stille from the University of Iowa presented a series of ten lectures on the fundamentals of industrial and polymer chemistry. This was followed by eleven weekly lectures from industrial speakers active in chemical roles. The program attracted a good deal of interest among our students and staff and its beneficial effects were visible to industrial recruiters interviewing here near its end. The second step was the inauguration of a cooperative program with Monsanto Company (St. Louis) for the summer employment of graduate students. Three entering graduate students participated in the summer of 1976, and it is hoped to extend the program to a larger number of students (and other companies) as well as to faculty next summer.

  • Molecular Geometry and Molecular Graphics: Natta's Polypropylene And
    Molecular geometry and molecular graphics: Natta's polypropylene and beyond Guido Raos Dip. di Chimica, Materiali e Ing. Chimica \G. Natta", Politecnico di Milano Via L. Mancinelli 7, 20131 Milano, Italy [email protected] Abstract. In this introductory lecture I will try to summarize Natta's contribution to chemistry and materials science. The research by his group, which earned him the Noble prize in 1963, provided unprece- dented control over the synthesis of macromolecules with well-defined three-dimensional structures. I will emphasize how this structure is the key for the properties of these materials, or for that matter for any molec- ular object. More generally, I will put Natta's research in a historical context, by discussing the pervasive importance of molecular geometry in chemistry, from the 19th century up to the present day. Advances in molecular graphics, alongside those in experimental and computational methods, are allowing chemists, materials scientists and biologists to ap- preciate the structure and properties of ever more complex materials. Keywords: molecular geometry, stereochemistry, chirality, polymers, self-assembly, Giulio Natta To be presented at the 18th International Conference on Geometry and Graphics, Politecnico di Milano, August 2018: http://www.icgg2018.polimi.it/ 1 Introduction: the birth of stereochemistry Modern chemistry was born in the years spanning the transition from the 18th to the 19th century. Two key figures were Antoine Lavoisier (1943-1794), whose em- phasis on quantitative measurements helped to transform alchemy into a science on an equal footing with physics, and John Dalton (1766-1844), whose atomic theory provided a simple rationalization for the way chemical elements combine with each other to form compounds.
