  Charles J. Pedersen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles John Pedersen (October 3, 1904 – October 26, 1989) was an American organic chemist best known for describing methods of synthesizing crown ethers.
Born in Pusan, Korea to a Norwegian father and a Japanese mother, in 1904, Pedersen came to the United States in 1922 to study chemical engineering at the University of Dayton in Ohio.
Pedersen was diagnosed with myeloma in 1983, and though he was becoming increasingly frail, he traveled to Stockholm to accept the Nobel Prize in late 1987.

 Charles J. Pedersen
CHARLES J. was an unpretentious man. He was known to all as "Charlie." But "Charlie" was not a man of meager attainment.
Pedersen showed that these compounds have remarkable and unexpected properties and that they can even bind the alkali metal ions of lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium and caesium into complexes in which the lithium ion is the smallest and the caesium ion the largest.
DuPont, for which Pedersen had been employed for 42 years, in 2001 issued a series of press releases providing retrospective looks at the company, as it was about to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its 1802 founding.

 DuPont.com: Charles "Charlie" Pedersen
Early in 1967, a paper from Charles J. Pedersen, a chemist at the DuPont Experimental Station, landed on the desk of the editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society.
In the paper, Pedersen reported the discovery of a novel class of chemical compounds called macrocyclic polyethers, which he dubbed the "crown"ethers because of their molecular shape.
For Pedersen, who freely admits he disliked writing papers, one was enough.

 Pedersen, Charles - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Pedersen, Charles
US organic chemist who shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1987 with Jean Lehn and Donald Cram for the discovery of ‘crown ether’, a cyclic polyether – a molecule with 12 carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms arranged in a crown-like structure.
Pedersen found that crown ether, now part of a class of crown ethers, has unusual properties, such as being able to dissolve sodium hydroxide because it binds alkali metal ions very strongly, forming a complex.

It is a great honor." Pedersen, who is retired and suffers from Parkinson's disease, was pleased that the honor came during his lifetime, said Herman Schroeder, former director of research for Du Pont and a close family friend.
Pedersen, Cram and Lehn were recognized for discovering some of the mechanisms by which organic molecules recognize and fit into one another ''like a key fits a lock," academy officials said.

In 1830 his pupil Charles Lyell began to publish his Principles of Geology to which the Bible was irrelevant, and its short timescale indeed harmful.
The ‘victor’s history’ written by T.H. Huxley and his allies has made it harder to understand Buckland’s position, as an ordained clergyman teaching science in a clerical university, and having faith in both geological evidence and biblical revelation; a study of his context is therefore interesting.
During the permanence of Vitaliano Donati in the Kingdom of Sardinia he continued his important activities in botany, mineralogy and geology and made relevat observations about climate, earthquakes, and mining-sites in Piedmont always having the aim of increasing the knowledge of local resources and their potential for exploitation.
