The moisture and gas content of charcoals and the activation of charcoal for use in gas masks was the major project undertaken by the branch laboratory at Princeton University. George A. Hullet, a professor of physical chemistry at the University, directed a staff of 14 chemists who as soldiers were stationed there during the war. Fred Neher, an organic chemist, was assisted by three graduate students employed by the Bureau of Mines in the synthesis of several compounds suggested by E. Emmet Reid (27). ... 

Fred was actually uncomfortable about receiving this recognition. He was much more interested in his work than in awards. But at least it placed on record a chronicle of his accomplishments. He did a much better job than I could have done better even than I ever aspired to do. The Chiefs job was no longer fun. Morale in the department was far lower than in the early 1960s when there was eagerness and motivation to take on challenging projects. 

Third, the School of Pharmacy at Mercer University has been most generous with infrastructural support. The Dean, Dr. Hewitt Matthews, and Department Chair, Dr. Fred Farris, have supported the project from inception. We also thank Vivienne Oder for her editorial assistance.

To broaden the scope of his interests, he spent another year as a postdoctoral fellow in the Physics Department of Pennsylvania State University, working on the X-ray analysis of biological compounds. Equipped with an exceptionally broad and multidisciplinary education and experience, he proceeded to The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, to work with Professor M. L. Wolfrom. His initial job was to investigate the ignition of cellulose nitrate, a project left over from World War II. In Fred s hands, this project was turned into an isotopic investigation of the biosynthesis and degradation of cellulose. At this time, there was very little known about the preparation of specifically labeled sugars, let alone the biosynthesis of... 

This format of this book evolved during several communications with Executive Editor Steve Quigley, and I gratefully acknowledge his initial input and continuing support throughout the project. I also thank Susanne Steitz, Jackie Palmieri, Fred Filler, Lisa Van Horn, and Marcia Felix at Wiley.

Fig. 2.14 Fred Basolo (1920-2007) was the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University in Evanston in the US. He worked for his Ph.D. with one of the founders of coordination chemistry in the US, John C. Bailar, and received a doctorate from the University of Illinois in 1943. After working on then-classified projects for the war effort, he joined the chemistry department at Northwestern in 1946, where he was a force to be reckoned with for more than 60 years. Together with Ralph Pearson, he was one of the pioneers in the field of inorganic reaction mechanisms and one of the first studying the kinetics of substitution reactions of metal carbonyls. He coauthored two text books Mechanisms of Inorganic Reactions (with R. G. Pearson) and Coordination Chemistry (with R. C. Johnson). Fred was elected to the National Academy of Science in 1979, was the President of the American Chemical Society in 1983, and received the Priestley Medal, the highest award of the ACS, in 2001 (photo by courtesy from Professor Jim Ibers, Northwestern University)...

Finally, a special debt of gratitude to Dr. F. J. Krambeck of Mobil Research must be acknowledged Fred was involved in this project from the beginning, and if he is not a coauthor it is simply because his industrial commitments did not al-...
