Herzberg, Gerhard. (1904-1999). A German-bom physicist who won the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1971 for his work on the composition of molecules. His research involved the spectroscopy of atoms and molecules and their excitation behavior. He became a Canadian citizen and was the director of the Division of Pure Physics of the National Research Council of Canada.

Long before Canada developed a reputation in theoretical and computational chemistry, the one Canadian scientist who needed no introduction was Gerhard Herzberg. His book on atomic structure1 was known to many generations of chemistry students, and his book on diatomic molecules2 and the later one on polyatomic molecules3 became standard references for theoretical chemists worldwide. 

With pleasure we dedicate this paper to Gerhard Herzberg. For us, as for a host of others, he has through his books served as a superb, inspiring mentor. As well as showing us the exhilarating scope of spectroscopic methods, he has taught us to orient our work toward basic questions and... 

An article entitled simply G. H. by Boris Stoicheff is recommended to those who are interested in learning more about Herzberg s remarkable career and scientific achievements. Stoicheff s article appeared in the April 1972 special issue of Physics in Canada, published in honor of Gerhard Herzberg on the occasion of his receipt of the Nobel Prize.

Although the research of Gerhard Herzberg and his colleagues at the National Research Council of Canada needs no introduction to computational and theoretical chemists, the emergence of theoretical and computational chemistry at the NRC is a relatively recent development.

A At Harvard 1 took a course on quantitative analysis for which we had to do the gravimetric analysis of calcium in limestone. But the instructor told us that we were wasting our time any sensible person would use atomic spectroscopy. I asked what it was and he told me to read a small book written by Gerhard Herzberg, who would later win a Nobel Prize for spectroscopy. 1 did, and that summer at home I made my own carbon arc for taking atomic spectra of various compounds.
