Metastable atom bombardment (MAB) is a novel ionization method for mass spectrometry invented by Michel Bertrand s group at the University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and described by Faubert et al.38 For the identification of bacteria by MS, MAB has a number of significant advantages relative to more familiar ionization techniques. Electron ionization (El) imparts so much excess energy that labile biomolecules break into very small fragments, from which the diagnostic information content is limited since all... 

In 1943, after being awarded the D.Sc. degree, Jeanloz was appointed as Research Associate, first with Meyer and then with Tadeusz Reichstein, Nobel Laureate for his work on steroid hormones. With Reichstein he studied the chemistry of deoxy sugars, some of which are constituents of these hormones, and developed3 a new method for the assay of these sugars. In 1946-1947 he spent 1 year in Canada as Research Associate at the University of Montreal, where he collaborated with D. A. Prins from the Research Division, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH, in the preparation of...

Following a very successful conference in Edmonton, it was decided that a second theoretical chemistry conference would be organized in 1967 in Montreal by Camille Sandorfy (University of Montreal) and Tony Whitehead (McGill University). Montreal provided the perfect venue. Canada was cele-... 

From 1954, when Camille Sandorfy took up his position at the University of Montreal, to 1960, only 6 theoretical chemists were appointed. During the next five-year interval, 16 appointments were made. In the five-year interval 1966 to 1970, inclusive, a total of 35 theoretical and computational chemists were appointed to Canadian universities, a time of unprecedented opportunities. The growth rate was not sustainable. From personal experience, the author knows that appointments for theoretical and computational chemists were extremely rare in Canada for the decade beginning in 1971. Indeed, for the ten-year interval from 1971 to 1980, only 14 appointments were made 6 in 1971-1975 and 8 in 1976-1980. 

The University of Montreal showed much foresight with the appointment of Dennis Salahub in 1976. In the next two decades he made several key contributions to the development and applications of density functional (DF) methodology. His early work with the Xa method22 helped to explain diverse complex phenomena in the area of transition metal clusters, their electronic and magnetic properties, and their use as models for chemisorption and catalysis. Explanations emanating from calculations on the reduction of surface mag-... 

This chapter was greatly aided from discussions with Lars Carlsen (University of Roskilde), Maurice Zeeman (USEPA), Eva Bay Wedebye and Henrik Tyle (Danish EPA), Pete Robinson (Environment Canada), MarkEllersieck (University of Missouri-Columbia), Mike Hooper (Texas Tech University), and Krishnan Kannan (University of Montreal).
