    Interview with Fred C. Anson

    No full text
    An interview in two sessions, February 1997, with Fred C. Anson, Elizabeth W. Gilloon Professor of Chemistry, in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Professor Anson received his BS in chemistry in 1954 from Caltech and his PhD from Harvard in 1957. That year, he returned to Caltech as an instructor in the chemistry division, becoming an assistant professor in 1958, an associate professor in 1962, full professor in 1968, and holder of the Gilloon chair in 1995. In this interview, he recalls his early education in South San Gabriel, his undergraduate years on a Los Angeles Times scholarship, and his graduate years at Harvard. He describes the state of the chemistry division in the late fifties and early sixties and his experiences as executive officer and then chairman of the division (1984-1994). He discusses his role as chairman of the presidential search committee resulting in the selection of Marvin L. (Murph) Goldberger, 1978. Recalls conflict over establishing an army research center (the Arroyo Center) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the early eighties. Comments on his relationship with provost R. E. Vogt during his division chairmanship. He discusses working with the electrochemists Lucien Gierst (Brussels, 1964) and Heinz Gerischer (Berlin, 1984). Recalls establishment of the Beckman Institute. Comments on the growth of Caltech and its divisions and the consequent increased pressure on the faculty and decline in collegiality. Recalls his various awards, including receiving an honorary doctorate from the Sorbonne in 1993

    Poly(2-vinylpyrazine) as a soluble polymewric ligand and as an electrode coating. Reactions with pantacyanoferrate(II)

    The rate and extent of reaction between H2OFe(CN)53- and poly(2-vinylpyrazine) (PVPz) In homogeneous aqueous solutions have been measured and compared with those for the reaction between the corresponding monomeric species H2OFe(CN)53- and pyrazine). The significant differences observed are attributed to the increasingly negative charge that accumulates on the polymer-metal complex as the reaction proceeds. Solutions of PVPz(Fe(CN)53-)n exhibit almost no electrochemical responses In 0.1 M supporting electrolytes but In 1 M solutions a clear response Is evident. Stable electroactive coatings of PVPz(Fe(CN)93-)n on electrode surfaces can be prepared by exposing cross-linked deposits of PVPz to aqueous solutions of H2OFe(CN)53-. The apparent formal potentials of the redox groups in such coatings vary with the concentration of the supporting electrolyte in the way expected for cation permselective membranes. With homogeneous solutions of PVPz about 30 % of the pyrazfne groups could be coordinated to -Fe(CN)53- anions but the maximum extent of binding of -Fe(CN)53- to cross-linked coatings of PVPz was only about half as large. © 1989, American Chemical Society.

    Leafing through early accounting journals from the last two decades of the 19th century, accounting historians and enthusiasts piece together the history of accountancy in the U.S., yet pay little attention to the editors of these journals who at times almost single-handedly willed their existence, clearing the road for modern accounting journals. Anson O. Kittredge, who was probably the most outstanding and influential editor of the 19th century, was also an author, teacher, CPA examiner, innovator, practitioner, and organizer
