Geoffrey Wilkinson Summary Geoffrey Wilkinson was born on July 14, 1921, in Yorkshire, England, to Henry and Ruth Crowther Wilkinson. Wilkinson realized that a stable structure would result if the iron atom bonded through the pi electrons and was thus held equidistant from all of the carbon atoms in the cyclopentadienyl ring.

NESACS - The Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson was born in Todmorden, Yorkshire. Wilkinson was a staunch fighter for the recognition of the importance of chemistry by government in Britain, communicating his views bluntly to prime ministers, ministers of education, vice chancellors and others who held the purse-strings of research funds, people he would refer to as "the apparatchiks." Geoffrey Wilkinson had a lasting influence on his former students, and on chemistry and the Northeastern Section can be proud that a small, but decisive part of his career was spent in our midst. www.nesacs.org /AboutNESACS/wilkinson-tribute.html   (1236 words)

Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Wilkinson discovered many new isotopes as a result of his research into the products of atomic fission reactions during the 1940s. 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. Wilkinson's text, written with his former student, F. Albert Cotton, "Advanced Inorganic Chemistry: A Comprehensive Text", had a profound influence for decades on the teaching of that subject. peace.nobel.brainparad.com /geoffrey_wilkinson.html   (337 words)

RSLP - SIr Geoffrey Wilkinson   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Geoffrey Wilkinson was born in Springside, a village close to Todmorden in west Yorkshire on 14 July 1921. At Imperial Wilkinson worked almost entirely on the complexes of transition metals, much interested in the complex chemistry of ruthenium, rhodium and rhenium, in compounds of unsaturated hydrocarbons and with metal to hydrogen bonds, the latter leading to work on homogeneous catalytic reactions such as hydrogenation and hydroformylation of olefins. Wilkinson was chairman of the editorial board of this international journal for inorganic and metallo-organic chemistry. www.bath.ac.uk /ncuacs/rslp-gw.htm   (938 words)

Chemistry in Action   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Geoffrey Wilkinson had finished his sections of the sixth edition just before he died. Geoffrey Wilkinson was the most towering figure in the renaissance of Inorganic Chemistry after WWII, which took off from the 1950s. Wilkinson did not make ferrocene, the archetypal metallocene, but he (and independently Fischer) correctly identified its unusual structure (Figure 1) in 1952. www.ul.ie /~childsp/CinA/Issue49/fam_chem.html   (760 words)

IC Reporter, Geoffrey Wilkinson 1921 - 1996 Professor Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson, FRS, Nobel Laureate and emeritus professor of inorganic chemistry at IC died suddenly on 26 September, aged 75. Wilkinson, being an inorganic chemist, immediately set about investigating the fundamental ideas suggested by this molecule and took advantage of his extensive knowledge of transition metal chemistry. The person Geoffrey Wilkinson, was at the lower end of medium height, medium build, with a Yorkshire accent modified by time, but with strong echoes of Freddie Truman. www.imperial.ac.uk /publications/reporterarchive/0032/feat01.htm   (784 words)

C&EN: SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY - ORGANOZIRCONIUM CHEMISTRY ARRIVES Its golden anniversary was celebrated last month at the American Chemical Society national meeting in Anaheim, Calif., in a symposium that offered a crash course in the history of the field and a sampling of its breadth. In late October 1952, John M. Birmingham, then a Ph.D. student in the lab of Geoffrey Wilkinson at Harvard University, prepared the first organozirconium compound, zirconocene dibromide. Publication was delayed to September 1954, in part because Wilkinson was away on sabbatical leave. pubs.acs.org /cen/nlw/8216sci1.html   (1807 words)

Geoffrey Wilkinson - Autobiography The house where I was born and indeed most of the village has been demolished by the local council as being unfit for habitation. My father, and his father, also Geoffrey, were both master house painters and decorators, the latter, youngest of twelve children having migrated from Boroughbridge in Yorkshire about 1880. My mother's family were originally of hill farming stock but many of my relations were weavers in the local cotton mills and indeed my mother went into the mill at an early age. www.nobel.se /chemistry/laureates/1973/wilkinson-autobio.html   (670 words)

Geoffrey Wilkinson Information Center - Geoffrey Wilkinson He was then at Harvard from September 1951 until he returned to England in December, 1955, with a sabbatical break of nine months in Copenhagen. At Harvard, he still did Geoffrey Wilkinson some nuclear work on excitation functions for protons on cobalt but had already begun to work on olefin complexes. He received many awards, including the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1973 for his work on “sandwich compounds” (with Ernst Otto Fischer). www.scipeeps.com /Sci-Chemistry_Topics_G_-_Ha/Geoffrey_Wilkinson.html   (360 words)

TIME.com: Awards Beyond the Lab -- Nov. 5, 1973 -- Page 2 The prize in chemistry went to Ernst Otto Fischer, 54, of Munich's Technical University and Geoffrey Wilkinson, 52, of London University's Imperial College of Science and Technology. Although such unusual combinations had long been known, it was Fischer and Wilkinson who first identified and explained the structure of a special class of organometallics, called sandwich compounds, that seemed to defy all known chemical rules. The prize is especially gratifying to Wilkinson, who did most of his research while he was a junior faculty member at Harvard from 1950 to 1954. www.time.com /time/magazine/article/0,9171,908117-2,00.html   (422 words)
