Using the molecular orbital method, Coulson showed how certain electrons in benzene, namely, the p electrons, can move over the whole molecule instead of being restricted to the region between two particular atoms. 93 Coulson, collaborating later with Longuet-Higgins and the French theoreticians Pascaline and Raymond Daudel and Alberte and Bernard Pullman, was to become a major presence in quantum chemistry. But on the whole, Coulson said, he was inclined to characterize the period from 1933 until the end of the Second World War as the "Mulliken Era. "94... 

For many people, high points of the conference were Mulliken s lead-off presentation, a paper given later by Pauling, and exchanges between the two men. As Mulliken recalled, "I held forth and Pauling held forth." 137 The high point for Mulliken personally was a champagne party at Alberte and Bernard Pullman s apartment which others also remembered with enthusiasm. 138 Bauer... 

See Bernard Pullman and Alberte Pullman, Les theories electroniques de la chimie organique (Paris Masson, 1952) ix, on the long delayed research in electron theories of organic chemistry despite the earlier work of Prevost and Kirrmann. 

Coulson s generation of quantum theoretical chemists was struck by the fact that the mathematical physics of wave mechanics did not result in fundamental breakthroughs or discoveries in chemistry. As we have seen, Mulliken claimed that his initial work in quantum mechanics "interpreted," rather than "discovered," chemical facts. Alberte Pullman commented in 1970 ...

Alberte and Bernard Pullman kept exploring the electronic structures of molecular systems and are the founders of quantum biochemistry in France. Cf. M. Blondel-Megrelis, Theoretical Chemistry in France.
