【简介】 The University and the Department of Chemistry are distinguished by a tradition of innovation. The University was founded in 1817, and in 1844, Michigan established its Department of Chemistry with the appointment of Silas Douglas and was the second university in the country to offer chemistry course work to students. The Department's long history of excellence has been built upon the pioneering research of scientists such as Hobart Willard (1909 - 1951), Moses Gomberg (1893 - 1936), Werner Bachmann (1929 - 1951), Floyd Bartell (1910 - 1953), Lawrence Brockway (1938 - 1978), and Robert Parry (1946 - 1969).
Willard's famous textbooks in quantitative analysis and instrumental methods are revised and updated regularly, and are still used widely today. Gomberg's early studies are the basis of modern organic free radical chemistry. Bachmann helped lay the early foundation of Michigan's strength in natural products synthesis and bioorganic chemistry. In particular, he was the first to demonstrate that a sex hormone, equilin, could be synthesized. Both Gomberg and Bachmann were elected to the National Academy of Science. In the last half of the 20th Century, Michigan maintained a strong presence in organic chemistry with many landmark studies, including those of Peter A. S. Smith, heterocyclic chemistry; Richard Lawton, synthesis and chemistry of corranulene; and Charles Overberger, polymer chemistry and founder of the Macromolecular Research Institute.
Brockway and Parry further advanced the Department's tradition of innovation into the 1970s, conducting studies in adsorption, colloid chemistry, radioactivity, atomic structure, electron diffraction and molecular structure. Brockway supervised the Department's two most distinguished graduates, Jerome Karle and Isabella Karle. The Karles' work on the theory and development of X-ray diffraction methods helped develop the foundation of modern crystallography and structure analysis, and led him to the 1985 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and her to the Presidential Medal of Science in 1995. Parry's synthetic work in main group and coordination chemistry, and his efforts to attract to the Department other faculty skilled in modern spectroscopic and diffraction techniques, helped lay the basis for the Department's strength in this interdisciplinary area, that prevails still today. The tradition of research excellence at Michigan continues to grow. Many of the faculty are recognized as leaders in their chosen field of chemical inquiry. As a graduate student in the Chemistry Department, you will be assisted by this group of scholars in developing into a creative and independent scientist.
