Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox scientist
Dwaine O. Cowan (25 November 1935 – 5 May 2006) was an American chemist. He was a professor of chemistry at Johns Hopkins University. He is best known for his pioneering work in the field of organic conductors.[1][2][3] His other research interests included organometallic chemistry, organic photochemistry,[4] organic chemistry, metallocenes[5] and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds containing sulfur, selenium, and tellurium.[6]
Education
He received a B.S. in chemistry from Fresno State College in 1958 and a Ph.D. in chemistry from Harry Stone Mosher at Stanford University in 1962.[7]
Research
Cowan was one of the dominant, world-renowned figures in physical organic chemistry during his thirty-year career. He is considered to be the father of "organic conductors and superconductors",[8] a burgeoning area of science and technology that cuts across the disciplines of chemistry, physics and materials science.
Cowan was invited to contribute a special report titled "The Organic Solid State" on the subject of organic conductors to Chemical and Engineering News (July 21, 1986).[9]
Cowan and his students have authored 190 scientific articles, four patents and two monographs.[10] He co-authored a book with Ronald Drisko entitled Elements of Organic Photochemistry (Шаблон:ISBN).[11]
Personal life
He was preceded in death by his wife, LaVon "Bonnie" Adams Cowan; and his parents Oliver and EvaBelle Cowan.Шаблон:Citation needed
Awards
He received a number of major awards including Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship (1968-1970), Guggenheim Fellowship, University of Basel, Switzerland (1970-1971), elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (1989) and the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Scientist for the University of Heidelberg, Germany (1992- 1993).[12]
