Extractions: Dr Gerhard Herzberg Known worldwide as the father of modern molecular spectroscopy, Dr. Herzberg advanced this study of the patterns of light emitted by atoms and molecules into an important tool for scientific investigation into areas as diverse as physics, chemistry, astrophysics, materials, biology and medicine. In 1971, Dr. Herzberg received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for a lifetime of achievement in molecular spectroscopy, culminating in his discovery of the spectrum of methylene (a free radical and transient intermediate molecule with a very short lifetime in chemical reactions). His discoveries in astronomy enlarged human knowledge of the atmospheres of stars and planets, while his research into spectroscopic properties and electronic structure laid the groundwork for precise quantum mechanical descriptions of small molecules. Even though he always regarded himself as a pure scientist, his discoveries about the oxygen molecule had proven implications for the study of cancer and his work on free radicals laid the foundation for studies of chemical reactions in the upper atmosphere.

Extractions: When I was born in 1904 the electron had only recently been discovered, giving scientists the first clues to the structure of the atom. By the time I had completed my university studies just 24 years later, the theory of quantum mechanics had provided the key to understanding the behaviour and structure of atoms, although there was still much work to be done in this area. The structure of molecules, however, remained elusive. With the exception of a few simple molecules, both molecular structure and its relationship to chemical processes and reactions was largely unknown, and without an understanding of these fundamental relationships we could only guess at the behaviour and properties of most chemical compounds. I used spectroscopy to discover some of the simplest and most important molecules in the universe and to determine their structure. I measured the wavelengths of the light absorbed or emitted by these molecules; in other words, I studied the molecule's spectrum. Each molecule or atom has its own unique spectrum, just like each person has a fingerprint which is unique to them. By studying the molecules' spectra, I was able to precisely calculate their rotational, vibrational and electronic energies. This knowledge then allowed me to determine their molecular geometries: the distances between and positions of atoms in the molecule. My work on molecular geometry has been used by other researchers to understand how and why molecules react in a specific way with each other. Perhaps

Extractions: Nobel Prize Winning Chemists Gerhard Herzberg The Nobel Prize In Chemistry 1971 Gerhard Herzberg was born in Hamburg, Germany, on December 25, 1904. He was married in 1929 to Luise Herzberg nee Oettinger and has two children. He was widowed in 1971. Herzberg received his early training in Hamburg and subsequently studied physics at the Darmstadt Institute of Technology where in 1928 he obtained his Dr. Ing, degree under H. Rau. Herzberg's main contributions are to the field of atomic and molecular spectroscopy. He and his associates have determined the structures of a large number of diatomic and polyatomic molecules, including the structures of many free radicals difficult to determine in any other way. Herzberg has also applied these spectroscopic studies to the identification of certain molecules in planetary atmospheres, in comets, and in interstellar space. Dr. Herzberg died in 1999. He received many honors which include the Royal Medal from the Society in 1971. He was Faraday Medallist and Lecturer of the Chemical Society of London in 1970. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1971 was awarded to him "for his contributions to the knowledge of electronic structure and geometry of molecules, particularly free radicals". Back To Main Page

Extractions: On Christmas day, Canada's only living Nobel Prize winner will celebrate his eightieth birthday. Gerhard Herzberg was born in Hamburg, Germany, on December 25, 1904, the youngest son in a lower middle-class family. At the age of 10, his father died and his mother struggled to support the family with a confectionary and dressmaking shop. When this failed, she left her children with a brother and emigrated as a housekeeper to the western United States. In school, the young Gerhard developed a love for mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Under the tutelage of a very progressive teacher, he learned about the revolution in physics that was taking place at this time. This revolution was the development of the quantum theories of the atom, which was largely the work of German physicists. Since there was no money available for university, he applied for and received a private scholarship from the wealthy industrialist, Hugo Stinnis, and enrolled in the Technical University of Darmstadt, graduating in 1927. For his doctoral research, Herzberg started to study the spectrum of light emitted by doubly ionized Lithium (that is, Lithium atoms with two electrons removed) and accidently discovered the spectrum of the nitrogen molecule. This started him on the study of the spectra of molecules, which has continued all his life and of which he is unquestionably the world's leading authority. The extension of the quantum theory from atoms to molecules was occurring at just this time, and Herzberg quickly became recognized as an experimental genius whose research into the interaction of radiation and molecules was the most advanced in the world.

Extractions: Depending on the conditions, molecules absorb or emit electromagnetic radiation of discrete wavelengths. The radiation spectrum is directly dependent on the electronic and geometric structure of an atom or molecule. Herzberg discovered new lines in the spectrum of molecular oxygen; called Herzberg bands, these spectral lines have been useful in analysing the upper atmosphere. He also discovered the new molecules phosphorus nitride and phosphorus carbide; proved the existence of the methyl and methylene free radicals; and demonstrated that both neutrons and protons are part of the nucleus.

Glenn Seaborg, who led the research team that discovered plutonium, died February 25 at his home in California. He was 86. And Gerhard Herzberg, one of Canada's greatest scientists, died March 3 in Ottawa at the age of 94. Starting in the late 1960s, Henry Kendall, a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, worked with Jerome I. Friedman and Richard E. Taylor to better understand the nature of protons and neutrons, then thought to be the basic building blocks of matter. They discovered that protons and neutrons were actually composed of "quarks"; for that, they shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for 1990.

Extractions: IN MEMORIAM Gerhard Herzberg Gerhard Herzberg, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry 1971, Distinguished Research Scientist at the National Research Council, and Past-President of the CAP (195657), died at his home in Ottawa on 3 March 1999 at the age of 94. He was born on Christmas day in 1904 in Hamburg to a modest middle-class family, and was only ten when his father, who had suffered from chronic ill health, died. Herzberg attended the main Gymnasium in Hamburg with a scholarship, and was blessed with excellent teachers who instilled in him a love of astronomy, other branches of science, and mathematics. When it came time to think of university, he explored the possibility of studying astronomy but was advised that it would be impossible to make a living in this way. Instead he opted for a program in Engineering Physics at the Technical University in Darmstadt, and was fortunate to get a private scholarship which enabled him to attend. He studied under Hans Rau, carried out his first research on atomic hydrogen, and photographed an extensive series of Balmer lines, which is reproduced in countless texts to this day. His thesis on the spectrum of nitrogen and its afterglow earned him the Doctor of Engineering degree in 1928. He returned to Darmstadt in November 1930 as Privatdozent, and remained there for almost five years during which he established an important spectroscopy laboratory and supervised the research of several students and visitors. Among the latter was John Spinks from the University of Saskatchewan (later its president), who was to play a major role in bringing the Herzbergs to Canada. An early contribution (1933) was a seminal paper with Edward Teller on the theory of vibrational intensities in electronic transitions. Teller was one of the pioneers in the application of quantum mechanics to polyatomic molecules, and continued over many years to have fruitful exchanges of ideas with Herzberg. Unhappily, with the rise of Nazism the political situation in Germany became rapidly worse and, because Luise was Jewish, the Herzbergs were forced to consider leaving their native country.
