 Vladimir Prelog
Vladimir Prelog (July 23 1906 – January 7 1998) was a renowned Croatian chemist who worked in Prague, Zagreb and Zurich and who won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1975.
After Ružicka's retirement in 1957, Prelog took over the organic chemistry laboratory where he expanded its activity to unusual areas: heterocyclic compounds, alkaloids, alicyclic compounds, and the isolation and study of biochemically active compounds found in smaller quantities in animal organisms.
Thanks to him and Ružicka, both Nobel prize winners from Croatia, Zurich has become one of the most significant centers of modern organic chemistry.

 Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rule at AllExperts
Any atom attached to a stereocenter or alkene bond carbon (or similar double bond system) has a Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority corresponding to its atomic number—the higher the atomic number, the higher the priority.
Named for Robert Sidney Cahn, Christopher Ingold, Vladimir Prelog, the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog priority rules are also referred to as the CIP system or CIP convention.
