The papers of twentieth century British scientists The National Cataloguing Unit for the Archives of Contemporary Scientists (NCUACS) at the University of Bath is a specialised unit for locating, cataloguing and finding permanent places of deposit for the archives of distinguished contemporary British scientists and engineers. Since 1973 it has worked in collaboration with 46 national and university libraries and archives to preserve and make accessible for research 225 archives of British scientists including 155 Fellows of the Royal Society and 22 Nobel Laureates. The present RSLP-funded project is founded on the cataloguing of the archives of five British scientists of exceptional distinction and importance including three Nobel Laureates. The five scientists are Professor R.V. Jones for the Churchill Archives Centre, Churchill College, Cambridge; Dame Kathleen Lonsdale for the Library, University College London; Sir Nevill Mott (Nobel Prize, Physics, 1977) for Cambridge University Library; Lord Porter (Nobel Prize, Chemistry, 1967) for the Royal Institution, London and Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson (Nobel Prize, Chemistry, 1973) for the Archives of Imperial College London.

Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson Born in Todmorden He was educated at Todmorden Grammar school, and in 1939 he gained a Royal Scholarship to Imperial College London where he gained his BSc and PhD. On his graduation in 1941, the wartime Joint Recruiting Board said that he should stay in research. He worked at Imperial College London, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and was professor of chemistry at Harvard. In January 1956, he returned to Imperial College London, as one of its youngest-ever professors, to take up what had just been established as the first chair of inorganic chemistry in Britain, the Sir Edward Frankland Professor of Inorganic Chemistry . He held the post from 1956 to 1988. In 1962, with F. A. Cotton , one of his former American students, he published the first edition of Advanced Inorganic Chemistry which changed the teaching of inorganic chemistry throughout the world. He made his last contribution to the 6th edition of the book shortly before he died. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1965. At Harvard, his research had opened a way of producing organo-metallic compounds, joining metal atoms to molecules of organic chemicals in order to produce new structures.

F.A. Cotton - BIOGRAPHY (Auto- ?) September 2001. (Source: Cotton's Faculty page, brought into HTML, unchanged) His research has dealt with nearly every important phase of inorganic chemistry, especially the chemistry of the metallic elements, and he was also a pioneer in the structural chemistry of enzymes. His investigations have resulted in more than 1500 research publications and reviews. He has made major contributions to the area of metal carbonyl compounds and organometallic compounds and his work on the structure of staphylococcal nuclease was one of the first high resolution enzyme structure determinations. This structure today provides the basis for extensive studies of enzyme catalysis employing site-specific mutagenesis. His greatest contributions, however, are in the field of metal-metal bonding, where, beginning in 1962, he discovered the existence of double, triple and quadruple metal-metal bonds, as well as a host of compounds containing metal atom clusters with single bonds. In the course of his work on compounds with multiple metal-metal bonds, he has expanded the field from his original recognition that a quadruple bond exists in Re

Chemists in industry don't earn many Nobel Prizes, so when one does, it's a moment to savor "William Who?" Some chemists might be forgiven for asking that question several weeks ago when the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Monsanto retiree William S. Knowles; chemistry professor Ryoji Noyori of Nagoya University, in Japan; and chemistry professor K. Barry Sharpless of Scripps Research Institute. MONSANTO TEAM Vineyard (from left), Knowles, and Sabacky worked on the development of chiral catalysis. PHOTO BY CHRISTINE NOONAN The Nobel Prize has now put an end to that. The essential contribution for which Knowles earned the prize is that he was the first to develop a transition-metal-based chiral catalyst that could transfer chirality to a prochiral substrate with high enantiomeric efficiencyshowing that asymmetric catalysis can be the best way to make optically active products. "One of the charms of research is that you never know where it's going or who the leader is going to be," writes David Gutsche in a congratulatory letter to Knowles, a longtime friend. Gutsche is a professor of chemistry emeritus at Washington University, St. Louis, and is now a chemistry professor at Texas Christian University, Fort Worth.
