English

By (author): M. Frederick Hawthorne

Tracing the life of a giant in inorganic chemistry and key trends in his science, Boranes and Beyond follows Hawthorne from his mid-American origins to the halls of Harvard and UCLA and back again. It naturally details the accomplishments in his lab. This book is a fascinating mixture of science and autobiography. Prof. Hawthorne won the Priestley Medal, the highest award of the American Chemical Society, for his pioneering work in elucidating the chemistry of boron. He has chronicled in this book the developments in his lab which ultimately led to this achievement.
Not content to rest on his laurels, after retiring from UCLA Prof. Hawthorne explored the use of boron in biomedicine and directed the International Institute of Nano & Molecular Medicine at the University of Missouri-Columbia. See more

About M. Frederick Hawthorne

Armed with a PhD in Organic Chemistry from UCLA in 1953 Professor Hawthorne went on to establish himself as a giant in Inorganic Chemistry.  He was a true chemistry pioneer discovering boron cluster structures that have paved the way in inorganic organometallic material nanotechnology and medicinal sciences.  He returned to UCLA in 1968 and was a distinguished Professor of Inorganic Chemistry for thirty-three years.  After retiring from UCLA Professor Hawthorne moved to the University of Missouri to further his research and in so doing broadened the field even more.  Along the way as he shaped and broadened the field he also touched the lives of countless students faculty researchers friends and family throughout the world.  Along with many other awards at home and internationally in honor of his contributions the American Chemical Society established the M. Frederick Hawthorne Award in Main Group Inorganic Chemistry in 2017.
