Alfred Werner Collection 1914-1979 Bulk: 1940-1979
No full textThis collection documents the professional life of Austro-American art historian and journalist Alfred Werner (1911-1979). From 1940 to 1979, he wrote thousands of stories, reviews, and columns, and was an editor of or contributor to dozens of art magazines and Jewish periodicals. His primary interests were European, Jewish, and Zionist political affairs, and 19th and 20th-century European and American art, with an emphasis on Jewish and Israeli artists. The bulk of the collection consists of his published output. The collection also contains some additional professional material, such as manuscripts, research materials, and reference photographs, as well as a few personal documents.Art historian and journalist Alfred Werner was born Alfred Siegfried Weintraub to Ignatiz and Frederika (Silberstein) in Vienna, Austria on March 31, 1911. He received his Juris Doctor from the University of Vienna in 1934. In Austria, Werner was active in the Viennese literary scene, editing the newspapers Gerechtigkeit and Die Stimme while also publishing poetry. Werner was arrested by the Nazis on November 10, 1938 and sent to the Dachau concentration camp, but he was released in March 1939, through the efforts of his fiancée Dr. Gertrude Bach. The young couple then fled Austria, first to England, spending a year in the Richborough, Kent refugee/internment Kitchner Camp, and then immigrating into the United States.Upon arrival in New York City, Werner struggled to make a living as a freelance writer. However, he soon found success in political journalism, and over the next fifteen years published hundreds of articles on European, Jewish, and Zionist affairs. He was also an editor of the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia and the Chicago Jewish Forum. The topic dearest to Werner’s heart, however, was art, and by the 1960s he was writing nearly exclusively about art and artists, primarily focused on 19th and 20th-century European, American, and Israeli art with an emphasis on Jewish artists. He had a long-running art column for the Jewish News, “Views and Visions,” and was a frequent contributor to arts publications such as American Artist and Pantheon as well as a senior editor of Art Voices. Werner also wrote over twenty books, including important works on artists such as Chagall, Utrillo, Pascin, Modigliani, Gaugin, and Degas. Werner was also an art consultant for the Theodor Herzl Institute from the 1950s until the end of his life, arranging exhibits and lectures.Alfred Werner died July 14, 1979.Photographs removed to Photograph CollectionProcesseddigitize

Alfred Werner\u27s Chemistry of Dinuclear Complexes – A Test Case of Werner\u27s Intuition
No full textThe re-investigation of four original tris-bridged dinuclear dicobalt complexes from the Werner collection of the University of Zurich by X-ray diffraction studies is described. The complex [Co2(NH3)6(?-NH2) (?-OH)(?-O2)](NO3)3
was studied recently. As the most interesting feature it was found to contain a ?-superoxo bridge, recognized by Alfred Werner and his coworker as an asymmetric peroxo bridge. The newly established ?-mono- and diacetato structures from crystals of the Werner collection, [Co2(NH3)6(?-OH)2(?-O2CMe)](NO3)3·H2O
and [Co2(NH3)6(?-OH)(?-O2CMe)2](NO3)3·H2O, were assigned by Alfred Werner and his co-workers as mono- or di-bridged systems with the water functioning as ?1-aqua ligands and
not, as revealed by the X-ray diffraction studies, as solvate molecules. Similarly the exact nature of the ?(N, O) nitrito bridge in the structure of the [Co2(NH3)6(?-OH)2(?-O2N)](NO3)3·H2O
complex from the Werner collection was left open in Werner\u27s and his coworker\u27s description. Only the accuracy of the X-ray diffraction study could ascertain any earlier \u27good guess\u27. The assignment of the bridges of bridged dinuclear structures at Werner\u27s time are well conceived considering
the lack of appropriate analytical tools. The structural assignments of Alfred Werner for the discussed dinuclear complexes are therefore considered to deviate only marginally from the real structures. They are testimonies of Alfred Werner\u27s predictive abilities in coordination chemistry supported
by his prepared mind, his great abilities of intuition and conceptual thinking

Coordination chemistry: the scientific legacy of Alfred Werner
