Description
This full of life autobiography begins with the neighborhood a whole lot of New York where the creator started experimenting with organic synthesis, leading to his first publication at the same time as he was once still living together with his parents. Streitwieser traces his remarkable career from his early research in “wet” chemistry at Berkeley via his work on ab initio theoretical calculations and his “invention” of a completely new series of compounds, the uranocenes, analogs to the ferrocenes.
