Chemical Genealogy Work Area - I

This page is a work area in which information about every person in the MSU Chemical Genealogy charts is gathered and evaluated. The references to several chemical genealogy sources, including those available on the WWW in addition to reference books, are listed on the previous page.

The last line for each individual, in bold font and labeled "display:", shows the text to be displayed on the MSU Chemistry genealogy web pages for the individual.

This page will always be a work in progress. Please let us know of any errors, or additional opinions or evidence, by e-mailing us at: .


 
Ibers, James Arthur 
   [Smith]
 - We (after McCarty) show: J. A. Ibers (1930-____) ( ) Schomaker
 - Mainz shows: Ibers, James Arthur|1930|PhD|1954|CalTech|Schomaker and
     Sturdivant
 - DisAbs shows: Ibers, James A.|PhD|1954|California Institute of Technology|
     Chemistry, General|(title)|
 - Mathematics does not include: Ibers
 - NDSU does not include Ibers
 - SciFinder shows Ibers' first two papers (1950, 1951) co-authored by Norman
     Davidson, 3rd paper sole authored (1953), papers 4,6,7 (1953-1954)
     co-authored by Jean A. Hoerni and dealing with scattering factors, paper 5
     (1953) "The structure of oxygen fluoride" co-authored by Verner Schomaker,
     papers 8,10,11,12 (1956-1957) sole authored, paper 9 (19) co-authored by
     J M Cowley, papers 13,14 (1957) co-authored by C H Holm, ...  [Sturdivant
     was not a co-author of any paper.]  [Can not find Hoerni in DisAbs, even
     with wide variations on spelling, but she did publish 17 papers 1948-1965.]
 - UConn does not include Ibers
 - YorkU does not include Ibers
question: preceptor? Schomaker or Sturdivant?
  discussion: Schomaker was known as a professor at CalTech.  Sturdivant
    earned a PhD under Pauling (1930) and published 13 papers (1928-1952 and
    1968) (6 with Pauling, 3 sole authored) but the only paper published after
    1952 (2 years before Ibers' PhD) was a tribute to Pauling.  I am guessing
    that Sturdivant  had a 'research scientist' position (not professor) at
    CalTech and that he did work with several students, including Ibers.
  choice: Schomaker as Iber's preceptor.

Display: James Arthur Ibers (1930-____) (PhD 1954, CalTech)
         [preceptor: Verner Schomaker]

Inman, Douglas 
   [Weaver]
 - We (after McCarty) show: (nothing - Inman not included)
 - Mainz does not include Inman
 - Biography and Genealogy Master Index shows: "Inman, Douglas Lamar (1920-)"
     and 11 citations, "Inman, Douglas Lawrence (1966-)" and 1 citation.
 - DisAbs has no matching entry for: Inman
 - Mathematics does not include: Inman
 - NDSU does not include Inman
 - UConn does not include Inman
 - YorkU does not include Inman
Display: Douglas Inman (____-____) ( ____, )
