Extractions: I was the kid with the funny name in my form. That is one of the earliest memories I have of school (except for being forced to finish school dinners). Other kids had typical Lancashire names such as Chadderton, Entwistle, Fairhurst, Higginbottom, Mottershead and Thistlethwaite though I must admit that there were the odd Smith, Jones and Brown. My name at that time was Krotoschiner (my father changed it to Kroto in 1955 so it is now occasionally thought, by some, to be Japanese). I felt as though I must have come from outer space - or maybe they did! I now realise that I had made a continual subconscious effort to blend as best I could into the environment by making my behaviour as identical as possible to that of the other kids. This was not easy indeed it was almost impossible with a couple of somewhat eccentric parents (in particular an extrovertly gregarious mother) who were born in Berlin and came to Britain as refugees in their late 30's. Bolton is a once prosperous but then (the fifties) decaying northern English town which is rightfully proud of its legendary contributions to the industrial revolution - the likes of Samuel Crompton and Richard Arkwright were Boltonians. Indeed we lived in Arkwright St. and I shall always remember walking to school each morning past the windows of cotton mills through which I could see the vast rows of massive looms and spinning frames operated by women who had been working from at least six o'clock in the morning, if not earlier.

Extractions: Sir Harold W. Kroto with models of fullerenes, 1996 in full SIR HAROLD WALTER KROTO (b. Oct. 7, 1939, Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, Eng.), English chemist who, with Richard E. Smalley and Robert F. Curl, Jr. , was awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for their joint discovery of the carbon compounds called fullerenes Kroto received a Ph.D. from the University of Sheffield in 1964. He joined the faculty of the University of Sussex in 1967 and became a professor of chemistry there in 1985. In the course of his research, Kroto used microwave spectroscopy to discover long, chainlike carbon molecules in the atmospheres of stars and gas clouds. Wishing to study the vaporization of carbon in order to find out how these carbon chains formed, he went to Rice University (Houston, Texas), where Smalley had designed an instrument, the laser-supersonic cluster beam apparatus, that could vaporize almost any known material and then be used to study the resulting clusters of atoms or molecules. In a series of experiments carried out in September 1985, the two men, along with Robert Curl, Smalley's associate at Rice, generated clusters of carbon atoms by vaporizing graphite in an atmosphere of helium. Some of the spectra they obtained from the vaporization corresponded to previously unknown forms of carbon containing even numbers of carbon atoms ranging from 40 to more than 100 atoms. Most of the new carbon molecules had a structure of C

Extractions: Harold Kroto was born in 1939 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, and brought up in Bolton, Lancashire. He graduated in Chemistry at the University of Sheffield in 1961 and in 1964 received his PhD there for research with R N Dixon on high resolution electronic spectra of free radicals produced by flash photolysis. After two years postdoctoral research in electronic and microwave spectroscopy at the National Research Council in Ottawa, Canada, he spent one year at Bell Laboratories NJ studying liquid phase interactions by Raman spectroscopy and he also carried out studies in Quantum Chemistry. He started his academic career at the University of Sussex (Brighton) in 1967, where he became a professor in 1985 and in 1991 he was made a Royal Society Research Professor. The presently active research programme derives directly from the earlier work on C and focuses on the implications of the discovery for several areas of fundamental chemistry as well as the way in which it has revolutionised our perspective on carbon based materials. The research encompasses the basic chemistry of the fullerenes, fundamental studies of carbon and metal clusters as well as carbon microparticles and nanotubes. Work on various aspects of interstellar and circumstellar molecules and dust is also in progress. Some parts of the research have been successful due to their interdisciplinary nature and this has been the result of synergistic collaborations involving primarily: colleagues J F Nixon, R Taylor and D R M Walton at Sussex, T Oka at NRC (Canada), and R F Curl and R E Smalley at Rice University (Texas).

Extractions: Prof Sir Harry W. Kroto Summary Harold Kroto received a BSc (Chemistry, 1961) and a PhD (Molecular Spectroscopy, 1964) from the University of Sheffield. After Postdoctoral work at the National Research Council (Ottawa, Canada) and Bell Telephone Laboratories (Murray Hill, NJ USA) he started his academic career at the University of Sussex (Brighton) in 1967. He became a professor in 1985 and a Royal Society Research Professor in 1991. In 1996 he was knighted for his contributions to chemistry and later that year, together with Robert Curl and Richard Smalley (of Rice University, Houston, Texas), received the Nobel Prize for Chemistry for the discovery of C Buckminsterfullerene a new form of carbon. Research fields cover three major topics: 1) Earlier research focused on the creation of new molecules with multiple bonds between carbon and elements, mainly of the second and third row of the Periodic Table, which were reluctant to form such a link. These studies showed that many of these previously assumed impossible species could be produced, studied by spectroscopy and used as valuable synthons leading to a wide class of new phosphorus containing compounds. In particular the spectroscopic studies of molecules with carbon-phosphorus multiple bonds were the pioneering studies that led to the now extremely active fields of phosphaalkene/alkyne chemistry.

Extractions: Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Sir Harold W. Kroto The Nobel Prize In Chemistry 1996 Sir Harold W. Kroto was born in Berlin Germany in 1936. His father's family came from Bojanowo and set up a shop in Berlin where his father was born in 1900. He started to develop an unhealthy interest in chemistry during enjoyable lessons with Dr. Wilf Jary who fascinated him most with his ability, when using a gas blowpipe to melt lead, to blow continuously without apparently stopping to breathe in. He, like almost all chemists he knew, was also attracted by the smells and bangs that endowed chemistry with that slight but charismatic element of danger which is now banned from the classroom. He became ever more fascinated by chemistry particular organic chemistry. Sir Harold had been keen on organic chemistry when he arrived at Sussex but as the university course progressed he started to get interested in quantum mechanics and when he was introduced to spectroscopy, he was hooked. He had a problem as he really liked organic chemistry, but in the end he decided to do a Ph. D. in the Spectroscopy of Free Radicals produced by Flash Photolysis-with Richard Dixon. George Porter was Professor of Physical Chemistry at that time so there was a lot of flashing going on at Sheffield. In 1965 after a further year of flash photolysis/spectroscopy in Don Ramsay's laboratory, where I discovered a singlet electronic transition of the NCN radical and worked on pyridine which turned out to have a nonplanar excited state, I transferred to Cec Costain's laboratory because he had developed a fascination for microwave spectroscopy. There he worked on the rotational spectrum of NCN3. Sometimes Takeshi Oka would be on the next spectrometer-working next to someone with such an exceptional blend of theoretical and experimental expertise did not help to alleviate the occasional sense of inadequacy. He really learned quantum mechanics from an intensive course that Jon Hougen gave at Carleton University. Whenever he was in difficulty theoretically, Jim Watson helped him out.

Extractions: Professor Sir Harold W KROTO Chairman: Please allow me to introduce to you Professor Sir Harold Kroto, Fellow of the Royal Society: a distinguished scientist, a Nobel Prize winner, an educator, and an artist. As a result of the discovery of C60, new carbon structures have become known, and a new branch of chemistry has developed. The research carried out at the University of Sussex by Professor Kroto and his colleagues encompasses the basic chemistry of the fullerenes and nanotubes - thin carbon-based tubes with closed ends, which are one of the main focuses of Professor Kroto's current research. The applications of fullerene research lead us into 21st century technology, with (for example) superconducting salts of C60, new three-dimensional polymers, and carbon nanotube integrated circuits. From a theoretical point of view, the discovery of fullerenes has influenced our conception of such widely separated scientific problems as the galactic carbon cycle and classical aromaticity, a keystone of theoretical chemistry. These advances in scientific knowledge owe much to Professor Kroto's long and distinguished career as a research scientist, and his dedication to wide-ranging fundamental research, covering chemistry, physics, materials science and astrophysics.

Kroto - Der "Shooting Star" des "Public Understanding of Science" wird Ehrendoktor der Universität Bielefeld Professor Sir Harold W. Kroto von der Universität von Sussex in Brighton, England, ist einer der Entdecker der Fullerene, der so genannten Fußball-Moleküle. Hierfür ist er 1996 mit dem Nobelpreis für Chemie ausgezeichnet worden. Kroto, geboren 1939 in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, besuchte die Universität Sheffield und promovierte dort 1964 bei R.N. Dixon über ein Thema aus der hochauflösenden Molekülspektroskopie. Nach For-schungsaufenthalten beim National Research Council of Canada und den Bell Laboratories, USA, kam er an die Universität von Sussex in Brighton, wo er noch heute als Royal Society Research Professor tätig ist. 1996 adelte ihn Königin Elisabeth II. Ein zur Zeit auch in Deutschland aktuelles Gebiet, auf dem H.W. Kroto internationalen Rang erreicht hat, ist das des "Public Understanding of Science", die Art und Weise also, wie man komplexe Resultate der aktuellen wissenschaftlichen Forschung einem breiten Publikum zugänglich macht. Kroto leitet in England das multimediale VEGA-Programm, im Rahmen dessen Wissenschaft in vorbildlicher Weise öffentlich und allgemein verständlich präsentiert wird. Zahlreiche Beiträge aus diesem Programm sind von der BBC ausgestrahlt worden und haben von den Zuschauern Bestnoten erhalten.
