Irving Wender Did you make any experiments with labeled anthracene Anthracene is a poorer solvent for coal than phenanthrene, and if hydrogen exchange takes place, this might cast doubt on your conclusions. 

Irving Wender Where can I find coals from which micrinites can be separated without too much difficulty ... 

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the very helpful assistance given me in organizing this symposium by the program chairman of the Division of Fuel Chemistry, Irving Wender and the financial support for several speakers furnished by the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research, Department of Defense. 

The authors wish to thank Gus Pantages, Waldo A. Steiner, and Paul Golden for their technical assistance A. G. Sharkey, Jr. and Janet L. Shultz for the mass-spectrometric analyses and Irving Wender, Frederick Kaufman, Milton Manes, and R. W. Lunt for their valuable discussions.

The author wishes to express his gratitude to Professor K. R. Krishnaswami of the Indian Institute of Science for his interest and encouragement during the course of these investigations and to Dr. Irving Wender of the U. S. Bureau of Mines for kindly reviewing this paper and for his valuable comments and advice. 

Research in the Organic Chemistry Section involved the structure of coal, the chemistry and separation of the complex mixtures of organic molecules from CH, metal carbonyls, and homogeneous catalysis. The chemistry and structure of carbonyls and related compounds were determined, and the kinetics and mechanisms of the hydroformylation reactions was elucidated. The section was directed by Dr. Milton Orchin until 1953 and subsequently by Dr. Irving Wender. Dr. Heinz Sternberg made valuable contributions to this research.
