   Extractions: The oldest of three children, I was educated in the local council primary school and after winning a County Scholarship in 1932, went to Todmorden Secondary School. This small school has had an unusual record of scholarly achievement, including two Nobel Laureates within 25 years. I actually had the same Physics teacher as Sir John Cockroft , but physics was never my favourite subject. In 1939 I obtained a Royal Scholarship for study at the Imperial College of Science and Technology where I graduated in 1941. As it was wartime, I was directed to stay on and did some research under the supervision of my predecessor, Professor H.V.A. Briscoe. In late 1942, Professor F.A. Paneth was recruiting young chemists for the nuclear energy project which I joined. I was sent out to Canada in January 1943 and remained in Montreal and later Chalk River until I could leave in 1946. Having been attracted by the prospect of California, I wrote to, and was accepted by Professor Glenn T. Seaborg

Sept. 26, 1996, London), British chemist, joint recipient with Ernst Fischer of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1973 for their independent work in organometallic chemistry. After studying at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London, Wilkinson worked with the Atomic Energy Project in Canada from 1943 to 1946. He taught at the University of California at Berkeley (1946-50), the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1950-51), and Harvard University (1951-55) before returning in 1956 to the Imperial College in London, where he became professor emeritus in 1988. Wilkinson was knighted in 1976. He wrote (with F.A. Cotton) the classic textbook Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Wilkinson discovered many new isotopes as a result of his research into the products of atomic fission reactions during the 1940s. In 1951 he read about a puzzling, newly synthesized compound called dicyclopentadienyl-iron (now called ferrocene). He correctly deduced that this compound's structure consists of a single iron atom sandwiched between two five-sided carbon rings to form an organometallic molecule. Wilkinson went on to synthesize a number of other "sandwich" compounds, or metallocenes, and his researches into this previously unknown type of chemical structure earned him the Nobel Prize. His research on metal-to-hydrogen bonding, particularly his discovery of Wilkinson's catalyst, a homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst for alkenes, had widespread significance for organic and inorganic chemistry and proved to have important industrial applications.

   Extractions: PROFESSOR SIR GEOFFREY WILKINSON Professor Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson, FRS, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, died on September 26 aged 75. He was born on July 14, 1921. There, his research had opened a way of joining metal atoms to molecules of organic chemicals in order to produce new structures. Wilkinson and his colleagues went on to synthesise other organometallic sandwich compounds. This work had far reaching effects, leading notably to the development of new catalysts used in the production of today's low-lead fuels. Geoffrey Wilkinson was fiercely proud of his Yorkshire roots. Portents of what was to come were already in evidence with his arrival at Imperial College from Todmorden Secondary School with a Royal Scholarship in 1939, and his subsequent graduation top of his year in 1941. The wartime Joint Recruiting Board decreed that he should stay in research. Soon afterwards, however, some of the brightest British scientists were recruited for the nuclear energy project. With several other chemists, physicists and mathematicians, some of whom were also later to become famous, Wilkinson sailed from Greenock on January 11, 1943, aboard the RMS Andes for his first crossing of the Atlantic. The catastrophic consequences of the possible loss of that particular ship at sea from enemy action do not bear thinking about.

His work had a wide effect on inorganic chemistry and started the field of organometallic chemistry. One of his chemical discoveries earned his name, Wilkinson's Catalyst. This organometallic compound activates small organic molecules such that the bond-breaking and bond-formation pathways are readily accessible. Wilkinson's Catalyst is a rhodium metal complex with three large phosphine ligands coordinated to the metal centre, Rh(PPh Cl.

Interviewed on BBC's Radio Four, Professor Collinge said: "I think really to provide definitive proof of a link you would have to do experiments on humans - inoculating them with BSE and seeing that they got variant CJD. That's clearly not something we're going to do." More than 30 national and local news programmes reported the research team's findings while all the national daily papers ran the story, most of them on the front page. Obituary Geoffrey Wilkinson Professor Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson, FRS, Nobel Laureate and Emeritus Professor of Inorganic Chemistry died suddenly on 26 September aged 75. He came to Imperial in 1939 as a Royal Scholar to read chemistry. He was awarded a first class Honours degree in 1941 and then started a PhD. At the early age of 34 he was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry, and held this professorship until 1988 when he retired and was appointed Emeritus Professor. Sir Geoffrey's scientific work spanned 55 years during which he made outstanding contributions to organometallic chemistry. The crucial moment of his career came at Harvard when, with organic chemist R.B. Woodward, he recognised the unprecedented molecular structure of the organometallic compound known as ferrocene.

    Extractions: Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson, Inorganic chemist extraordinaire, has just died at the age of 75. He was known to generations of chemistry undergraduates from his influential textbook Advanced Inorganic Chemistry, written with one his ex-graduate students F. Albert Cotton, and always known just 'Cotton and Wilkinson'. After 34 years and five editions it is still the 'Bible' of Inorganic Chemistry. Geoffrey Wilkinson had finished his sections of the sixth edition just before he died. The first edition of 'Cotton and Wilkinson' was published in 1962 and I can remember as a fresh undergraduate the excitement of waiting for this new, long-awaited, and revolutionary Inorganic textbook. To say it was 'heavy on facts' was an understatement, and it was particularly strong on transition metal and organometallic chemistry, reflecting the main interests of the two authors. Geoffrey Wilkinson was the most towering figure in the renaissance of Inorganic Chemistry after WWII, which took off from the 1950s. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1973, jointly with Professor E.O. Fischer from Germany, for their independent work in elucidating the structures and opening up the area of metallocene chemistry. Wilkinson did not make ferrocene, the archetypal metallocene, but he (and independently Fischer) correctly identified its unusual structure (Figure 1) in 1952.

I was the only postdoc from the Orient. concentrating on the chemical journals he was reading. For a professor of his stature, this was rather unusual. He was prolific with research ideas. Whenever, he came up with research ideas, he would immediately write them down on index cards and then hand them out to us during his daily tours of the laboratory. Each one of us would collect at least two to three index cards from him everyday.

    Extractions: Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Geoffrey Wilkinson The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1973 Geoffrey Wilkinson was born in Springside, a village close to Todmorden in west Yorkshire on July 14, 1921. His father was a master house painter and decorator. Being the oldest of three children, he was educated in the local council primary school and after winning a County Scholarship in 1932, went to Todmorden Secondary School. Having been attracted by the prospect of California, he wrote to, and was accepted by Professor Glenn T. Seaborg. For the next four years in Berkeley, he was engaged mostly on nuclear taxonomy and made many new neutron deficient isotopes using the cyclotrons of the Radiation Laboratory. In 1951 he was offered an Assistant Professorship at Harvard University, largely because of his nuclear background. He was at Harvard from September1951 until he returned to England in December, 1955, with a sabbatical break of nine months in Copenhagen in Professor Jannik Bjerrum's laboratory as a John Simon Guggenheim Fellow. At Harvard, he still did some nuclear work on excitation functions for protons on cobalt but he had already begun to work on olefin complexes so that he was primed for the appearance of the celebrated Kealy and Pauson note on dicyclopentadienyliron in Nature in early 1952. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1973 together with Ernst Otto Fischer "for their pioneering work, performed independently, on the chemistry of the organometallic, so called sandwich compounds".
