Chemical Genealogy Work Area - Z

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: .

Zare, Richard Neil 
   [Posey]
 - We (after McCarty) show: (nothing - Zare not included)
 - Stein received 11/13/01 an email from Posey which stated Zare's preceptor
     was Herschbach; also obtained from Herschbach's website

     Klemperer as advisor), PhD 1964 from Harvard (Dudley Herschbach as advisor)
     and professor at Stanford U 1977 - present.

Zener, Clarence
   [Garrett]
 - DisAbs shows: Zener, Clarence|PhD|1930|Harvard U|
     Physics, Molecular|"Quantum Mechanics of the Formation of Certain Types of
     Diatomic Molecules"|
 - SciFinder shows 7 publications 1928-1930 with 2 sole-authored, 2 with E C 
     Kemble and 3 with Victor Guillemin.  The topics of all seven are quantum
     mechanics and similar to thesis title.  Kemble received a PhD from Harvard
     in 1917 and published 36 papers 1916-1939 (20 sole-authored) and a book in
     1958.  Guillemin published 6 papers 1926-1935 (and possibly 3 patents on
     other subjects).  Kemble and Guillemin jointly published in 1928.  [I
     suspect Guillemin might have been a fellow student with Zener rather than
     his preceptor.}  Kemble appears a likely candidate as Zener's preceptor.
