Angew. Chem. (1974), 86(18), 651 I was born in Solln, near Munich, on 10 November 1918 as the third child of the Professor of Physics at the Technical C Fischer (died 1953), and his wife, Valentine, née Danzer (died 1935). After completing four years at elementary school 1929, from which I graduated in 1937 with my Abitur. Following a subsequent period of "work service" and shortly befor compulsory military service, the Second World War broke out. I served in Poland, France and Russia. In the winter of 1 Chemistry at the Technical College in Munich during a period of study leave. I was released by the Americans in the au study of Chemistry in Munich after the reopening of the Technical College in 1946. I graduated in 1949. I took up a posi Professor Walter Hieber in the Inorganic Chemistry Department, and under his guidance I dedicated myself to working o Mechanisms of Carbon Monoxide Reactions of Nickel II Salts in the Presence of Dithionites and Sulfoxylates". After rec was invited by Professor Hieber to continue my activities at the college and consequently chose to specialise in the stud organo-metallic chemistry. I wrote my university teaching thesis on "The Metal Complexes of Cyclopentadienes and Ind lecturer at the Technical College in 1955 and in 1956 I completed a scientific sojourn of many months in the United Stat Professor at the University of Munich. After turning down an offer of the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the University o Professor at the University of Munich in 1959 . In 1957 I was awarded the Chemistry Prize by the Göttingen Academy o German Chemists awarded me the Alfred Stock Memorial Prize in 1959. In 1960 I refused an appointment as Senior Pr Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Marburg. In 1964 I took the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry at the Technical Colle vacated by Professor Hieber. In the same year I was elected a member of the Mathematics/Natural Science section of t Sciences; in 1969 I was appointed a member of the German Academy of Scientists Leopoldina. In 1972 I was given an Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy of the University of Munich. Lectures on my fields, particularly those on metallic complexes of cyclopentadienes and indenes, metal-pie-complex s o di- and oligo-olefins and most recently metalcarbonyl carbene and carbyne complexes, led me on lecture tours of the U Venezuela, Brazil, Israel and Lebanon, as well as numerous European countries, including the former Soviet Union.

University of Wisconsin-Madison Born 1942, St. Louis, MO B.S. 1963, St. Louis University Ph.D. 1968, MIT Chuck received a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from MIT in 1968, where he studied organocopper chemistry under the direction of Professor George M. Whitesides. After spending 6 months at Harvard as an NSF postdoc with Paul D. Bartlett he joined the faculty at Wisconsin. Chuck is interested in studying the mechanisms of organometallic reactions and in developing an understanding of homogeneous catalysis. In addition, he is trying to design new organometallic reagents for synthesis and new heterobimetallic catalysts. University of California at Santa Cruz Claude was born in Zurich, Switzerland. He received his undergraduate and Ph.D. degrees from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) with Heinrich Zollinger. Following a postdoctoral year with Manfred Eigen at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry in Gottingen, he joined the chemistry faculty at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1967, where he has been a professor of chemistry since 1977. His main research interests are in physical organic chemistry and center on problems of mechanism, structure-reactivity relationships, intrinsic barriers of reactions, and catalysis in organic and organometallic reactions, particularly proton transfer reactions, nucleophilic addition to electrophilic alkenes, nucleophilic vinylic substitution and reactions of Fischer carbene complexes.
