	George Andrew Olah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Andrew Olah (born May 22, 1927 as György Oláh) is a Hungarian-born American chemist.
		Olah studied, then taught, at what is now Budapest University of Technology and Economics.
		Olah is currently a distinguished professor at the University of Southern California and the director of the Loker Hydrocarbon Research institute.

	George Olah: The Master of Hydrocarbons - George B. Kauffman and Laurie M. Kauffman
		George B. Kauffman, professor of chemistry at California State University, Fresno, is a contributing editor to four journals and has authored more than 1,200 publications on chemistry, chemical education, and the history of science and technology.
		Olah, however, never lost faith in his quest: "You do a lot of work before you really convince yourself that you have observed something, particularly in a field where for decades and decades people have tried and failed.
		Olah's discoveries revolutionized the study of carbocations, and his numerous contributions to synthetic organic chemistry have found a prominent place in all modern textbooks.

		Olah received the 1994 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering research on carbocations and their role in the chemistry of hydrocarbons.
		Using these methods Olah was able to show that the 2-norbornyl cation has the non-classical structure originally postulated by Winstein, thus resolving a long-standing debate in physical organic chemistry.
		Olah was born and educated in Hungary, moved to Canada (Dow Chemical) after the 1956 Hungarian uprising, and ultimately to the U.S.A. He was professor and chairman of chemistry at Case Western Reserve University before moving to the University of Southern California, where he is distinguished professor at USC's Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute.

	The Master of Hydrocarbons - The World and I Magazine
		In 1977 Olah moved to the University of Southern California in Los Angeles as professor of organic chemistry and scientific director of the Loker Hydrocarbon Research Institute, the country's first research institute dedicated to the fundamental study of hydrocarbon chemistry and related graduate education.
		Olah realized that the highly reactive carbocations were energetically inclined either to lose a hydrogen ion (that is, to form a protic acid) or to combine with other substances present.
		Olah, the researcher, modestly declares that his success with carbocations and superacids was a result of systematic, prolonged labor rather than a more dramatic flash of genius: "Even if you work in a systematic fashion, you must have ideas, and I feel blessed in always having ideas.

		Born in Budapest, Hungary, Olah was educated at the Technical University of Budapest, receiving his Ph.D. in 1949.
		Olah and his coworkers discovered that carbocations could be stabilized by using superacid compounds of fluoride (acids that are stronger than, for example, sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid) as solvents at low temperatures.
		Olah wrote Friedel-Crafts Reactions (1963–64, 4 vols.) and was coauthor of Carbonium Ions (1969–76, 5 vols.), Superacids (1986), and Hydrocarbon Chemistry (1995).

		Olah dedicated himself to the search for these elusive intermediate strong acids and soon realized that they could not be prepared in the presence of any solvents that could act as bases, which would immediately react with and destroy them.
		Györgyi András Olah, the son of Gyula Olah, a lawyer, and Magda Olah (née Kraznai), a housewife, was born in the Pest side of Budapest on May 22, 1927.
		Olah’s discoveries in the field of carbocations and novel electrophiles provided the insights into his fundamental findings concerning the electrophilic activation of C–H and C–C single bonds and formed the basis for his development of new and improved hydrocarbon transformations.

		George Andrew Olah is a Hungarian-American chemist who won the 1994 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for work conducted in the early 1960s that isolated the positively charged, electron-deficient fragments of hydrocarbons known as carbocations (or carbonium ions).
		For this work, on which modern cell biology is partly based, Claude, his student George Palade, and Christian de Duve shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1974.
		The invention of the skyscraper lies with George A. Fuller (1851-1900), who worked on solving the problems of the load bearing capacities of tall buildings.
