Chemistry Past. Present, Future

Organometallic chemistry. Past, present, and future*

Development of organometallic chemistry in the past half century is reviewed from the author’s personal viewpoint with focus on the establishment of fundamental concepts relevant to catalysis. Further development in the coming century is expected in view of the diversity of transition-metal complexes and their unique properties. IMPACT OF DISCOVERIES Discoveries of ferrocene and Ziegler catalys...

Teaching analytical chemistry in China: past, present, and future perspectives.

While there are references to the practice of chemical analysis in ancient Chinese times, the modern system of analytical chemistry was introduced into China in the late 19th century. Thanks to the Chinese chemist Shou Xu, who translated several chemical books from western countries, including two important books on analytical chemistry: Manual of Qualitative Chemical Analysis [1] and Quantitat...

Education in process systems engineering: past, present and future

The term ‘Process Systems Engineering’ may be traced back at least as far as the early 1960s. In parallel with the emergence of a research agenda for this new sub-discipline, pioneers of the subject began to consider the nature of education in process systems engineering, and its relationship to the broader chemical engineering curriculum. In this paper, a personal view of the history of the de...
