【轉(zhuǎn)載】大牛 E. J. COREY 鮮為人知的一面 (手下博后自殺以及與HOFFMANN爭鋒) 已有11人參與

很早以前就聽聞COREY手下的博后自殺,只是沒有太多的去關注。最近無意看到了維基上關于此事的一些報道,所以就拿出來,于大家討論,大家客觀的給出意見并且客觀的分析一下。同時,還有當年他于HOFFMANN爭鋒的一些細節(jié),大家看看。 Graduate student suicides Between 1980 and 1998 there were eight graduate-student suicides at Harvard University, half of those were chemistry students, and three of those were suicides of students supervised by Prof. Corey.[28] Jason Altom's death caused controversy because he explicitly blamed Corey, his research advisor, for his suicide. Altom died by taking potassium cyanide in 1998, citing in his farewell note "abusive research supervisors" as one reason for taking his life. Altom's suicide note had been described as a "policy paper," because it contained explicit instructions on how to reform the relationship between students and their supervisors. [29] The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) cited the New York Times article on Altom's suicide as an example of problematic reporting, [30] and suggested that Corey was unfairly scapegoated. The AFSP review of the New York Times article states: "Readers are left with the feeling that the advisor's personal characteristics and the atmosphere he created are in fact responsible for Altom's suicide. Yet it seems more likely that Altom's own depression-driven perfectionism was most contributory to his suicide. And the protection Altom's suicide note indicated he needed was probably from inner demons, not from the professor on whom he projected them." [31] 再往后看,老頭除了獲得諾貝爾獎以外,還拿了個普利茨獎。這在美國也是個炸彈獎了,沒想到老頭領完獎以后不愿下臺。而是高喊woodword的不是,說woodword-hoffmann規(guī)則是woodword搶了他的風頭。當年他同woodword商量以后,woodword把他的idea發(fā)表了!也就是說今天的w-h規(guī)則本應該是Corey——Hoffman規(guī)則的!哈哈~老頭千算萬算沒想到那個Hoffman還活著,Hoffman立刻在Angewandte Chemie.回文駁斥他!原文如下: Woodward-Hoffmann rules When awarded the Priestley Medal in 2004, E. J. Corey created a controversy with his claim to have inspired Robert Burns Woodward prior to the development of the Woodward-Hoffmann rules. Corey wrote: “On May 4, 1964, I suggested to my colleague R. B. Woodward a simple explanation involving the symmetry of the perturbed (HOMO) molecular orbitals for the stereoselective cyclobutene → 1,3-butadiene and 1,3,5-hexatriene → cyclohexadiene conversions that provided the basis for the further development of these ideas into what became known as the Woodward-Hoffmann rules.” [33] This was Corey's first public statement on his claim that starting on May 5, 1964 Woodward put forth Corey’s explanation as his own thought with no mention of Corey and the conversation of May 4. Corey had discussed his claim privately with Hoffmann and close colleagues since 1964. Corey mentions that he made the Priestley statement “so the historical record would be correct". [34] Corey's claim and contribution were publicly rebutted by Roald Hoffmann in the journal Angewandte Chemie. In the rebuttal, Hoffmann states that he asked Corey over the course of their long discussion of the matter why Corey did not make the issue public. Corey responded that he thought such a public disagreement would hurt Harvard and that he would not “consider doing anything against Harvard, to which I was and am so devoted.” Corey also hoped that Woodward himself would correct the historical record “as he grew older, more considerate, and more sensitive to his own conscience.” [35] Woodward died suddenly of a heart attack in his sleep in 1979. 引文轉(zhuǎn)自:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias_James_Corey [ Last edited by dzb04982 on 2010-11-20 at 11:53 ] |
