Home New on this Website Site Map Search ... Introductions Reprinted with permission from Foresight Update 20 (foresight@cup.portal.com): Nobel Chemist on Nanotechnology Dr. Roald Hoffmann has made numerous contributions in the field of chemistry, most notably in geometrical structure and reactivity of molecules. His contributions have earned him numerous honors, including the 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He is currently a professor of chemistry at Cornell University, focusing in the area of applied theoretical chemistry. He is also on the technical advisory board of Molecular Manufacturing Enterprises, Inc. (MMEI). Here he gives his initial and expanded reactions to the goal of nanotechnology: The first reaction is "I'm glad you guys [that includes women, of course] found a new name for chemistry. Now you have the incentive to learn what you didn't want to learn in college." Chemists have been practicing nanotechnology, structure and reactivity and properties, for two centuries, and for 50 years by design. What is exciting about modern nanotechnology is (a) the marriage of chemical synthetic talent with a direction provided by "device-driven" ingenuity coming from engineering, and (b) a certain kind of courage provided by those incentives, to make arrays of atoms and molecules that ordinary, no, extraordinary chemists just wouldn't have thought of trying. Now they're pushed to do so.

The Winonan November 1, 2000 Man of two worlds Poet, Nobel Prize-winning chemist relates disciplines of science, art Amanda Leonhardt Winonan The worlds of science and poetry rarely come together, especially in the form of one person. Roald Hoffmann is an exception. The Nobel prize-winning chemist and accomplished poet spoke at Winona State Oct. 23 as part of the 2000-2001 Lyceum Series. Hoffmann, a professor of both chemistry and human letters at Cornell University, gave a public lecture titled "One Culture: The Commonalties and Differences between the Arts and the Sciences." "What unites these two cultures is that they produce objects of human creation. Artifacts man and woman made," Hoffmann said. He continued to draw similarities between the disciplines by emphasizing that both scientists and poets seek to find the truth. "All are absorbed by a search for understanding," he said. "It’s really one culture — to understand the world." In addition to an evening lecture, Hoffmann spoke to students and faculty during two afternoon sessions. During the first, "Molecular Beauty," he explained why scientists find beauty in molecules. A later discussion featured reading of some of his poetry and an explanation on his work as a scientist and a poet.

The Scientist 3[24]:13, Dec. 11, 1989 OPINION Nobelist Roald Hoffmann: Chemist, Poet, Above All Teacher By Born in Poland in 1937 to “a happy Jewish family in dark days in Europe,” Hoffmann emigrated to the United States with his mother and stepfather in 1949 after spending two years in a labor camp and another year in hiding in the attic of a schoolhouse near his hometown of Zloczow. After completing his elementary education in New York City, he went on to Stuyvesant High School, one of the city’s selective science schools. He received his B.A. in chemistry from Columbia University in 1958 and from there went on to Harvard to earn his doctorate in chemical physics four years later. Hoffmann was only 28 when he made a name for himself with the Woodward-Hoffmann rules, a set of guidelines for determining whether and how thermal and photochemical reactions occur, and his use of molecular theory to predict chemical actuality is recognized as one of this century’s great contributions to his field. In the following interview with contributing editor Julia King, Hoff mann talks about his multifaceted career as a theorist, scientist, teacher, and poet, and shares his thoughts on the current state of science literacy and education. He also offers readers an idea of what they might expect next from a scientist who has spent a lifetime reflecting about the relation between science and human values, and the behavior of molecules and people.]

Roald Hoffmann 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry Cornell University Roald Hoffmann shared the 1981 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his theory—expressed in a set of statements now called the Woodward-Hoffman rules—"concerning the course of chemical reactions." He has discovered that many reactions involving the formation or breaking of rings of atoms take courses that depend on an identifiable symmetry in the electronic structures of the reactants. The theory accounts for the failure of certain compounds to form from apparently appropriate starting materials.

HOFFMANN, ROALD rh34@cornell.edu Hoffmann is currently a professor of chemistry at Cornell University , Ithaca, NY, USA. Research interests : Applied theoretical chemistry Dr. Roald Hoffmann has made numerous contributions in the field of chemistry, most notably in geometrical structure and reactivity of molecules. His group looks at the electronic structure of molecules of any complexity, whether organic or inorganic, discrete molecular structures, or extended arrays in one, two, or three dimensions. They are interested in why they have the structures they do, how they might react, and whether they are stable or good conductors.

37. Bloomfield Science Museum Jerusalem/Roald Hoffmann There could hardly be a better counterexample than to roald hoffmann to the popular Hisquality as a scientist is attested by his 1981 nobel Prize in Chemistry http://www.mada.org.il/website/html/eng/2_1_1-19.htm

Birthdate July 18 Roald Hoffmann, (b. 18.7.1937) (American) There could hardly be a better counter-example than to Roald Hoffmann to the popular image of a dry, white-coated scientist interested only in molecules and equations. His quality as a scientist is attested by his 1981 Nobel Prize in Chemistry , but he is also a populariser of science at the deepest level, warmly committed to the welfare of mankind and a successful poet. His background encapsulates the modern history of the Jews of Eastern Europe. He was borne in Zloczow in the area known as "The Pale of the Settlement". The town had been in Austria-Hungary when his parents were born there, was in Poland when he was born, and is now Russian. His "happy Jewish family" was destroyed by the German occupation. He was transported with his parents to a ghetto and then to a labour camp. His father succeeded in smuggling him and his mother out of the camp and they were hidden by a kind Ukrainian in the attic of a schoolhouse until they were liberated by the Red Army in 1944. The father, who had remained behind in the camp, had been executed by the Nazis for attempting to organise a mass break-out from the camp. From the Ukraine the mother and son eventually found their way via Czechoslovakia, Austria and Germany to The United States, where English became his sixth language, and the one in which he would eventually write all of his science and his

Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Roald Hoffman The Nobel Prize In Chemistry 1981 He got a scholarship from P. O. Lowdin's Quantum Chemistry Group at Uppsala to attend a Summer School. The school was held at Lindigo, an island outside of Stockholm. He met Eva Borjesson who had a summer job as a receptionist at the school, and they were married the following year. He has received many of the honors of his profession. He is especially proud that in addition to the American Chemical Society's A. C. Cope Award in Organic Chemistry, which I received jointly with R. B. Woodward in 1973, he was selected for the Society's Award in Inorganic chemistry in 1982, the only person to receive these two awards in different subfields of our science. He was awarded the Nobel Prize jointly with Kenichi Fukui in 1981 "for their theories, developed independently, concerning the course of chemical reactions". The 1962-65 period was creative in other ways as well: Our two children, Hillel Jan and Ingrid Helena , were born to Eva and him.
