Roald Hoffmann 222 Baker Laboratory PhD, Harvard University, 1962 MA, Harvard University, 1960 BA, Columbia College, 1958 Frank H. T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters Our 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. We are interested in why they have the structures they do, how they might react, and whether they are stable or good conductors. The answers lie in the electronic structure of the molecules. Thus we do molecular orbital calculations, often very simple ones, seeking orbital explanations and relationships between the molecule at hand and any related systems. The following study illustrates our approach: In a February 1995 issue of Angewandte Chemie, W. S. Sheldrick and M. Wachhold published a paper on the synthesis and structure of Cs Te . The beautiful structure of this molecule (fig. 1) displays unusual features. Discrete crown Te entities (well known for sulfur and selenium, they had not been previously observed for tellurium) can be easily identified, as can infinite two-dimensional sheets that are formed by Te atoms and include one Cs atom per six telluriums. If one assumes the Te

Oxygen Oxygen Carl Djerassi Department of Chemistry, Stanford University, Stanford, CA 94305-5080 Roald Hoffmann Department of Chemistry, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853-1301 We've written a play on the Nobel Prizethe ultimate reward in the kudos-driven culture of scienceas well as on a chemical theme, the discovery of the element oxygen. What is discovery? Why is it so important to be first? These are the questions that trouble the people in this play. Oxygen alternates between 1777 and 2001the Centenary of the Nobel Prizewhen the Nobel Foundation decides to inaugurate a "Retro-Nobel" Award for those great discoveries that preceded the establishment of the Nobel Prizes one hundred years before. The Foundation thinks this will be easy, that the Nobel Committees who select the laureates can reach back to a period when science was done for science's sake, when discovery was simple, pure, and unalloyed by controversy, priority claims, and hype.

Oxygen (by Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann) reviewed by Jeffrey Kovac Department of Chemistry, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996-1600 Wiley-VCH: Weinheim, 2001. viii + 120 pp. ISBN 3-527-30413-4. $14.95. Oxygen, a new play in two acts, which had its premier April 2, 2001, in San Diego in conjunction with the National ACS meeting, has been published in a handsome little volume by Wiley-VCH giving those of us who were unable to see the stage version the opportunity to read the script. The playwrights, Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann, are distinguished chemists who have also pursued literary careers. As a writer Djerassi is probably best known for his autobiographies and novels, especially Cantor's Dilemma, which is part of his "science in fiction" project. Hoffmann is an essayist and poet whose work touches on the creative and human aspects of chemistry as well as its relationship to society and culture. The overall theme of the play is scientific discovery as illustrated by the discovery of oxygen told through two interlocking plots. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Nobel prizes, a committee has been asked to select a chemist to receive a "retro-Nobel" for a discovery that predates the origin of the prizes in 1901. The discussions of this committee comprise one of the stories. The second is an imaginary meeting of Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Joseph Priestley, and Antoine Laurent Lavoisier and their wivesor in the case of Scheele, his housekeeper and future wifein Stockholm in 1777 at an event where the King of Sweden will honor one of them for the discovery of oxygen. Such meetings are a well-known theatrical device. Steve Martin recently imagined a meeting of Einstein and Picasso in Paris in

THE SAME AND NOT THE SAME BIOGRAPHY 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 University and Harvard University (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. Dr. Hoffmann also writes essays and poems. Two of his poetry collections, "The Metamict State" (1987) and "Gaps and Verges" (1990), have been published by the University Presses of Florida. In 1993 the Smithsonian Institution Press published "Chemistry Imagined". A unique art/science/literature collaboration of Roald Hoffmann with artist Vivian Torrence, "Chemistry Imagined" reveals the creative and humanistic f sparks of the molecular science. In 1995, Columbia University Press published "The Same and Not the Same", a thoughtful account of the dualities that lie under the surface of chemistry. There will be German, Spanish, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese editions of this book. In 1997 W.H. Freeman published Old Wine, New Flasks; Reflections on Science and Jewish Tradition, by Roald Hoffmann and Shira Leibowitz Schmidt, a book of the intertwined voices of science and religion. Dr. Hoffmann is also is the presenter of a television course, "The World of Chemistry", now aired on many PBS stations and abroad.

Chemists discover "Oxygen" has a life of its own Play by renowned scientists Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann gets a 10-day run at the Eureka Theatre in San Francisco; headed for American and European stages in 2001 FOR RELEASE: May 3, 2000 Contact: Franklin Crawford Office: (607) 255-9737 E-Mail: fac10@cornell.edu ITHACA, N.Y. Combine the literary talents of two renowned chemists with a passion for theater and the result is "Oxygen," a two-act play by Carl Djerassi and Roald Hoffmann that is set for 10 performances at the Eureka Theatre Company in San Francisco, through May 14. Directed by Andrea Gordon, "Oxygen" is a fully staged professional workshop production at the same theatre where Tony Kushner's "Angels in America" began. Hoffmann, a Nobel laureate in chemistry and the Frank H.T. Rhodes Professor in Humane Letters at Cornell University, and Djerassi, professor of chemistry at Stanford University, best known as developer of the oral contraceptive pill, describe "Oxygen" as "a play about priority and competition in science and the moral consequences of these ... about the discovery of oxygen and revolutions, chemical and political ... and it is about the Nobel Prize." "Oxygen" alternates between 1777 and the year 2001 when the Nobel Foundation decides to begin awarding a "retro-Nobel" for those great discoveries that preceded the establishment of the Nobel Prizes 100 years before. Foundation members think the task will be a simple matter of reaching back to a period when science was done for science's sake, when discovery was pure and unalloyed by controversy and hype. But the plot thickens when the French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier is forwarded as a candidate. Lavoisier seems a shoo-in: the father of modern chemistry, he is credited with the discovery of oxygen. But did he really discover oxygen? Or was it Joseph Priestley, the English Unitarian minister? Or was it the Swedish apothecary Carl Wilhelm Scheele? And what do their wives have to say about it all?

Campus Construction Nobel Prize-winning chemist to lecture, read poetry at Cornell Jan. 22, 2001 MOUNT VERNON Cornell College will host a lecture and poetry reading Thursday, Feb. 1, by Roald Hoffmann, a Nobel Prize-winning chemist who also has written books of poetry and nonfiction, plus a play related to the discovery of oxygen. Hoffmann will lecture at 11 a.m. on "Chemistry's Essential Tension: The Same and Not the Same." The lecture will address the position chemistry takes within the realm of the sciences: not dealing with the infinitely small or large, but on a human scale, affecting life all around us. At 3 p.m. Hoffmann will read from his poetry. Both events are in Hedges Conference Room of The Commons and are free. Hoffmann, a native of Poland who survived the Nazi occupation, is the Frank H.T. Rhodes Professor of Humane Letters and professor of chemistry at Cornell University. He won the 1981 Nobel Prize in chemistry for theories concerning the course of chemical reactions. He shared the prize with the late Kenichi Fukui. Hoffmann's literary works include books of poems, "The Metamict State" (1987) and "Gaps and Verges" (1990); "Chemistry Imagined" (1993), a book about art, science and literature written with artist Vivian Torrence; "The Same and Not the Same" (1995), an account of the dualities in chemistry; and "Old Wine, New Flasks; Reflections on Science and Jewish Tradition" (1997), a book he co-authored on the intertwined voices of science and religion.
