The first studies performed at Strasbourg University by the picrate extraction method developed by Pedersen reveals a high preference of calix-crowns fixed in the 1,3-alternate conformation for cesium. In contrast to its conformational isomer, di-isopropoxy-calix[4]arene-crown-6 in the cone conformation does not extract cesium (Table 4.4).

The following year he attended the new University of Strasbourg with his cousin Otto Fischer and became influenced by Adolf von Baeyer. Studying under von Baeyer, Fischer received his Ph.D. in 1874 for his work on fluoresceine and orcin-phthalein. In the same year he was appointed assistant instructor at Strasbourg University and discovered the first hydrazine base, phenylhydrazine, and demonstrated its relationship to hydrazobenzene and to a sulfonic acid described by Strecker and Romer.

The foundation for HTRF lies in the Nobel prize chemistry of Professor Jean Marie Lehn (Strasbourg University) [1]. This chemistry was further developed by Professor Lehn and Dr. Gerard Mathis (CIS bio international) into a europium cryptate (EuK) based assay technology (Figure 1). This innovative structure has five distinct and critically important functions ...

B. Ratier, B. Lucas, and C. Moreau. I thank particularly M. Moreau for his help during the writing of this chapter. We have also worked closely with R. H. Friend and his group at Cambridge, and also with G. Froyer (Nantes University) and B. Francois (Strasbourg University). This work was partly supported by the European Commission (project Napoleo under the Brite-Euram program).

Adolf von Baeyer (1835-1917) was born in Berlin, Germany, and received his Ph.D. at the University of Berlin in 1858, working with Robert Bunsen and August Kekuie. After holding positions at Berlin and Strasbourg, he was a professor at Munich from 1875 to 1917. He was the first to synthesize the blue dye indigo and was also discoverer of the first barbiturate sedative, which he named after his friend Barbara. Baeyer was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1905. 

Ludwig Wolff (1857-19191 was born in N6ustQdt/H8rdt, Germs ny, and received his Ph.D. from the University of Strasbourg working with Rudolf Fittig. He was professor of chemistry at the University of Jena.

Muller must have been disappointed to learn that he was not the discoverer of DDT. Sixty-five years earlier and seventy miles down the Rhine River, an Austrian graduate student at the University of Strasbourg had synthesized the compound as part of his chemistry doctoral thesis. Although Othmar Zeidler described many of DDT s properties and developed the method used to make it commercially, he overlooked the compound s insecticidal powers. And because DDT was not used to make dyestuffs, it was soon forgotten. Thus, when Geigy took out the basic Swiss patent in March 1940, it was for DDT s use as an insecticide.
