Winstein was as adept as Ingold in devising new vocabulary:  neighboring group participation, solvent participation, internal return, anchimeric acceleration,, bridged ions, homoaromaticity and carbanion-carbonium and careen terminology.  He had first developed the idea of neighboring group pi electron interaction while an undergraduate at UCLA in 1934 and refined it when he was a postgraduate at CalTech in 1938.  Bromonium ions and mechnisms of solvolysis…                                 (p. 563)

Another significant American teacher was Pauling’s colleague at CalTech, Howard Lucas (1885- 1963) , who learned his physical chemistry ar the University of Chicago with John Nef and Julius Steiglitz.  Unable to take a Ph. D. because of financial problems, he seems to have been looked down upon by his Caltech colleagues.  But Ingold was greatly impressed by his work on the inductive effect during the 1920s while Lucas’s textbook Organic Chemistry was the first undergraduate textbook to introduce reaction mechanisms.                                 (p.552)

Friedrich August Kekule (1829 – 96) spent a long apprenticeship in chemistry befor becoming Professor oc chemistry at Ghent in 1858 and Bonn in 1867.  His original plan to study architecture at the University of Giessen in 1847 was to his parents’ disapproval, thwarted by the magnetism of Liebigs’ lectures on chemistry, Liebig advised Kekule (like Garhardt before) to undertake further studies with Dumas in Paris, where between 1851-2 he became close friends with Gerhardt’s.  He spent 1 ½ years working for an independent chemist in Switzerland.  Liebig found him a position at St. Bartholomew’s hospital in London under a former student, Stenhouse.  Kekule completed his graduate degree at Heidelberg in 1856. (p.245)

  In his Kekule Memorial Lecture to the London Chemical Society in 1898, Francis Japp concluded that Kekule’s benzene theory was the

Most brilliant piece of scientific production to be found in the whole of organic chemistry…  (p. 269)

J. von Liebig

Erlegen  1822

When the 21 year old Justus von Liebig was appointed Assis. Prof. of Chemistry at the small sleepy University of Giessen some 20 miles north of Frankfort in 1824, he hoped to make his name and his fortune through the establishment of a private pharmacy school rather than through the academic teaching of chemistry at the university.  This had been done successfully by J. B. Trommsdorff at the University of Erfurt where he also ran a private pharmacy school.  In the event , although large numbers  Liebig’s students were to become chiefly renowned as a model institution .  There were the most famous in the world for practical instruction in chemical analysis and surefire  method of organic analysis.

Liebig (1803 – 73) was one of eight children born to the lower-middle-class parents at Darmstadt in the tiny state of Hessen-Darmstadt.  His parents ran a Drogerie, which sold paints and varnishes, and other household wares such as boot polish,, several of which were made up by Liebig’s father in an adjacent workshop.  Liebig’s family was never well off.  In 1817, during a period of severe agricultural and trade depression following the Napoleonic war, Liebig had to be withdrawn from the local Gymnasium and apprenticed  to an apothecary at the neighboring town of Heppenheim.  Unfortunately, Liebig’s father could not afford the full apprenticeship fee and his son’s training was abruptly terminated after only six months.  The successful adult Liebig obviously found his boyhood poverty embarrassing, and so he told stories of causing explosions  in the pharmacy that had earned him dismissal as an unruly apprentice.  Back in Darmstadt, Liebig worked in his father’s workshop preparing varnishes and pigments, while reading chemistry books from the Ducal library, which, in an act of enlightenment, Duke Ludwig seems to have thrown open to worthy citizens. 

Through a happy accident that his father supplied chemicals to Karl W. Kastner (1783 – 1857, see also below) at the University of Bonn and had also written a paper on liquid manure for Kastner’s short-lived Zeitschrift fur dme Gewerbsfreund Kastner agreed to take Liebig on as his personal assistant and to train him in Chemistry.  This meant that Liebig could also attend Kastner’s lectures even though he did not possess the Arbitur, of school-leaving permit, certificate necessary for matriculation at a German university.  In later life, Liebig was rude about Kastner’s chemical competence and decidedly ungracious towards him;  but without Kastner’s support and patronage Liebig might well have remained a small-town hardware salesman….

To Kastner, too, Liebig owed a travel grant to study in Paris, which Kastner obtained fro his protégé from the benevolent Grande-Duke Ludwig of Hessen-Darmstadt.  Clearly, Liebig was perceived as an exceptionally promising young man, so much so that Kastner was able to persuade the Erlangen faculty to award Liebig what was in effect an honorary degree in absentia in 1822.  It is one of the ironies of Liebig’s teaching career that eh himself never presented a thesis for his doctorate.

P203

We are now in a position to explain how Liebig built up a great teaching and research school that became the model for others niGermany and overseas.  In a seminal article J. B. Morrell suggested that the necessary conditions for Liebig;s success were intellectual, institutional, technical psychological and financial.  In the first palce Liebig had a definite program of research (analysis of organic compounds) and of instruction (qualitative and quantitative methods).  By 1831 he had developed a more than adequate national and international reputation, while Annalen was to become a mouthpiece for him and for his students

He had a private pharmaceutical institute separate from his state-supported teaching at the university.

Mistakes in the history of science can, however, be influential.  It was Ghos’s equation that caught the attention of the Dutch physical chemist, Peter Debye (1884 – 1966).  Together with Erich Huckel ( who was later to develop MO theory for chemists), Debye re-examined and simplified Milner’’s model and developed a new function based on the statistical interference of neighboring ions on ionic mobilities.  Although this model and its equations had to be further refined by Lars Onsager in 1927, to all intents and purposes the theory of solutions was complete by 1927.                (p. 394)
