Email: rh34@cornell.edu American Chemical Society Awards: Pure Chemistry. Arthur C. Cope Award in Organic Chemistry. Nichols Medal. Pauling Award. Award in Inorganic Chemistry. Priestley Medal. Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1981 (with K. Fukui). National Medal of Science. Semenow Medal of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Author of: The Conservation of Orbital Symmetry (with R.B. Woodward) Solids and Surfaces Chemistry Imagined (with Vivian Torrence) The Same and Not the Same Old Wine, New Flasks (with Shira Leibowitz Schmidt) Oxygen (a play by Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann) The Metamict State Gaps and Verges Memory Effects Important Contributions: "Applied theoretical chemistry" is the way Roald Hoffmann likes to characterize the particular blend of computations stimulated by experiment and the construction of generalized models, of frameworks for understanding, that is his contribution to chemistry. In more than 450 scientific articles he has taught the chemical community new and useful ways to look at the geometry and reactivity of molecules, from organic through inorganic to infinitely extended structures. Dr. Hoffman has recently participated in the production of a television course in introductory chemistry, "The World of Chemistry."

DISCIPLES:: Roald Hoffmann (1937 - ) Polish-born American who (along with Robert Burns Woodward) developed rules, based on quantum mechanics, to determine how energy levels in atomic electron orbits influence how a chemical reaction takes place. These rules allowed chemists to predict reaction results. Hoffmann then turned his research toward Isolobal Analogy, his work was useful in predicting the behavior of new molecules based on the orbit structure of the components used to form them.

THE FUZZY BOUNDARY: SCIENCE AND ART Return to Interviews RH: No, not really. I was an immigrant to be sure, and by virtue of that forced to learn ever new languages, to be an outsider, a watcher. But this was also consistent with being an only child for 17 years. Not a lonely child, but one who learned to be alone. EMC: When did you realize that you had a gift for chemistry? Second, I fell into chemistry by mistake, starting as a premed, then getting up the courage to tell my parents I didn't want to be a doctor. But not having enough courage to pursue the world of humanities opening up around me, I learned to love chemistry. It's just wonderful. I think I was not sure that I was good in chemistry until my very last year in graduate school, when I was 26. EMC: I know that your work at Brookhaven National Laboratory [a government research lab on Long Island] was important in keeping your interest in science. Brookhaven also fueled my own interest in physics. I worked with dye lasers during the day and went jogging around the lab in the evenings. The lab was good place to learn and be alone. I will always have great memories of those summers. EMC: What did it mean to win the Nobel Prize?

HYLEInternational Journal for Philosophy of Chemistry, Vol. 3 (1997) , pp. 107-109: Inherent Tensions of Chemistry Review of : Roald Hoffmann, The Same and Not the Same , Columbia University Press, New York, 1995, -XVI, 294 pp. (ISBN: 0-231-10138-4) by Joachim Schummer If you expect a nobel prize winner being a crank who can think of nothing but his subject, then read Roald Hoffmann's The Same and Not the Same and test your hypothesis. This book is about chemistry, to be sure - but in the broadest scope including sociology, psychology, ethics and philosophy of chemistry. 51 nice little chapters grouped in ten parts reflect on chemistry from different aspects. Since they neither bore chemists nor deter non-chemists, Hoffmann succeeds in attracting both groups (I will refer to this again). The underlying idea is that chemistry is not only important and influential on our cultural life, it is also interesting in a very special sense, both for chemists and non-chemists. Instead of presenting a series of smart and admirable achievements of modern chemistry (remember the 18th-century (pseudo-)scientific cabinets), Hoffmann discusses inherent tensions of chemistry. Why that? Tensions indicate dynamics, something balanced for the moment between driving forces, something living that attracts our attention, our interest. Miracles and showpieces do also, for sure, but even the laymen gets fed up soon. Tensions, on the other hand, raise our interest more continually. And abstract tensions invite for intellectual discussions to maintain the balance, again and again.

Biodata: Roald Hoffmann was born in 1937 in Zloczow, Poland. Having survived the war, he came to the U. S. in 1949, and studied chemistry at Columbia and Harvard Universities (Ph.D. 1962). Since 1965 he is at Cornell University, now as the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters. He has received many of the honors of his profession, including the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry (shared with Kenichi Fukui). "Applied theoretical chemistry" is the way Roald Hoffmann likes to characterize the particular blend of computations stimulated by experiment and the construction of generalized models, of frameworks for understanding, that is his contribution to chemistry. The pedagogical perspective is very strong in his work.

Commencement Archives Class of 2000 Address to the graduates Honorary degree Citation 2000 Georgetown College Commencement Honorary Degree Citation Roald Hoffmann Doctor of Humane Letters, Honoris Causa Roald Hoffmann, the Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane letters at Cornell University, is one of the most influential chemists of our time. His discoveries have earned him wide recognition including the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He is the co-author of the famous Woodward-Hoffmann rules, which are widely considered to be the most significant theoretical advancements in organic chemistry in the last half century. Roald Hoffmann's work connects the prediction of the course of a chemical reaction with the symmetry of the electron orbitals. his work has profoundly influenced the means by which chemists interpret their experiments. Based on applications of quantum mechanics he has been able to bridge the traditional barrier between organic and inorganic chemistry, and between molecular and solid state chemistry, revealing their inherent unity. Professor Hoffmann has been successful in communicating the principles of science to non-scientists; he is also an accomplished poet and writer who has published several volumes of poetry and essays. his essays, which range from environmental problems to linguistic aspects of scientific writing, display his interdisciplinary approach. By building on his experience as both a scientist and an artist, Professor Hoffmann enlightens subjects as diverse as the artificial distinction between the natural and the synthetic, the similarity between the creative process in the fine arts and the natural sciences, and the beauty of a symmetrical or not so symmetrical molecule.

In his talk he will use examples from chemistry, poetry, painting and ceramics to make a case for an underlying unity of science and the arts. He explores the similarities in the creative processes of the two disciplines. There are also differences between the two, but he does not believe that "scientists have some greater insight into the workings of nature than poets." Hoffmann was born in Poland in 1937. His father was killed by the Nazis, but he and his mother and a few relatives survived. He came to the United States in 1949. He graduated from Columbia College in 1958 and went on to receive his master's degree in physics in 1960 and his Ph.D. in chemical physics in 1962, both from Harvard. He joined the faculty at Cornell University in 1965 and now holds the Frank H.T. Rhodes Professorship in Humane Letters. Hoffmann's published research is highly influential and is frequently cited by other scientists, but he thinks his major contribution is teaching. He teaches primarily undergraduates.
