A woman makes steam in quantum #chemistry that acts between chemistry and #physics. It enables ab-initio calculations of molecules and their reactive behavior. Model methods and qualitative concepts explain and generalize phenomena and contribute to the theoretical understanding of interrelationships in chemistry.
LiC plans to publish the #autobiography of theoretical chemist Sigrid Peyerimhoff, Uni Bonn.

Do you know this #chemist? He believes strongly in the power of #catalysis and of #greenchemistry and is most famous for asymmetric #hydrogenation used to form single #enantiomers that are needed as precursors for pharma and agro products. It is RYŌYI NOYORI who was awarded the #NobelPrize in chemistry in 2001 together with William S. Knowles and K. Barry Sharpless. His enlightening #autobiography will be published in the Lives in Chemistry series next summer.

We are working on the LARRY E. OVERMAN #autobiography about “Designing Synthetic Methods and #NaturalProducts #Synthesis” that will be released in Spring 2024. Born in 1943 in Chicago, he had joined the newly founded Faculty of Chemistry @UCIrvine in 1971. It became his homebase for more than 50 years until his retirement as Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Emeritus. Larry is most known for the Overman #rearrangement.
