Nobel Laureate Alan MacDiarmid delivered the 2001 Ralph Connor Memorial Lecture Alan G. MacDiarmid, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2000, delivered the Ralph Connor Memorial Lecture for 2001 at the Chemical Heritage Foundation on March 22, 2001. Dr. MacDiarmid, the Blanchard Professor of Chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, shared the 2000 Nobel Prize in chemistry with Alan J. Heeger, University of California at Santa Barbara, and Hideki Shirakawa, University of Tsukuba, "for the discovery and development of conductive polymers." The award recognized a remarkable discoverythat under the right circumstances plastic can be made to behave very like a metal, to conduct electricitya breakthrough that opened the door to a range of polymer-based electronics that can be produced quickly and cheaply. These products may also be a stepping-stone to real molecular-scale electronics, perhaps the next great advance of the computer age. Dr. MacDiarmid's talk reflected on changes in the chemical sciences and technologies across his career, focusing especially on the strengths of interdisciplinary research as exemplified by his prize-winning work. MacDiarmid has received numerous other awards, including the 1999 Award in Materials Chemistry from the American Chemical Society, the 1984 Chemical Pioneer Award from the American Institute of Chemists, and the 1989 John Scott Award from the City of Philadelphia. He holds over 28 patents and is the author or co-author of approximately 600 research papers.

The Scientist 14[24]:10, Dec. 11, 2000 NEWS Nobel Impact As 100-year anniversary of prizes approaches, chemistry laureates discuss significance of awards and importance of science education By Eugene Russo Alfred Nobel , the reclusive inventor of dynamite, probably had little idea of the explosive impact his posthumous wishes would have on society. Nobel, who died in 1896, willed most of his considerable wealthgarnered from his groundbreaking 1866 inventionto the founding of several international prizes. The prizes were intended to honor those who confer benefit to mankind by promoting peace or by contributing to the fields of physics, chemistry, or physiology or medicine (the economics award was founded later, in 1968). After some legal wrangling by Nobel's family, the first prizes were awarded in 1901. They attracted considerable interest from their inception; in those days, such a large donation to scientific or philanthropic causes was quite rare. Everett I. Mendelsohn moderated a discussion among distinguished audience members and Nobel laureates including 1986 chemistry laureate Dudley Herschbach , 1981 chemistry laureate Roald Hoffman , and 1962 chemistry laureate Max F. Perutz

December 2000 Edition 2000 Nobel Prizes Announced in Physics, Chemistry and Medicine The 2000 Physics Nobel Prize recognizes the vital role of physics in the information technology revolution. Half the prize will be awarded this month to Zhores I. Alferov of the Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia and Herbert Kroemer of the University of California at Santa Barbara for their early work in such areas as the design of heterostructures, semiconductor lasers, epitaxial growth techniques, and optoelectronics. The other half of the prize will be awarded to Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments, one of the pioneers in producing integrated circuits. Tiny transistors replaced vacuum tubes as a means of performing the important tasks of switching and amplifying in electronic circuits, but it wasn't until many transistors and other elements could be wired up in a small space that today's information revolution could begin. Integration and miniaturization not only led to more efficient packaging but also to quicker processing since signals travel shorter paths. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to Alan J. Heeger (University of California, Santa Barbara), Alan G. MacDiarmid (University of Pennsylvania), and Hideki Shirakawa (University of Tsukuba, Japan) for discovering that plastics polymers, modified in certain ways, can conduct electricity very well. From Saran wrap to foam cups, polymers are normally insulating materials, but in the 1970s, Shirakawa, finding a new way to make the polymer polyacetylene, accidentally added 1,000 times too much catalyst. He produced a silvery film, which he later presented in 1977 to Heeger and MacDiarmid, who had been investigating the possibility of "synthetic metals."

MacDiarmid (University of Pennsylvania), and Hideki Shirakawa (University of Tsukuba, Japan) for discovering that plastics, modified in certain ways, can conduct electricity very well. Plastics are polymers, long chainlike molecules composed of simpler units known as monomers. From Saran wrap to foam cups, polymers are normally insulating materials. But in the 1970s, Shirakawa, finding a new way to make the polymer polyacetylene, accidentally added 1,000 times too much catalyst. He produced a silvery film, which he later presented in 1977 to Heeger and MacDiarmid, who had been investigating the possibility of "synthetic metals." The three studied the properties of the material. When they added iodine, the polymer's electrical conductivity shot up by several million times. The result was a whole new fieldconducting polymerswhich has led to plastic versions of many electronic devices, such as light emitting diodes. Compared to inorganic materials, plastics are more flexible and potentially cheaper and easier to manufacture. In addition, the discovery of conducting polymers provides a foundation for the development of molecular computers, in which electrically conducting molecules act as the building blocks of computing devices.

Nobel Prize for Chemistry Announced By Kim Gamel Associated Press Writer This article is courtesy of the Associated Press. Reprinted with permission of The Associated Press, 2000. STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - Americans Alan J. Heeger and Alan G. MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa of Japan won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Tuesday for their discoveries that plastic can be made electrically conductive - an advance that has led to improvements in film, TV screens and windows. The laureates will share the $915,000 prize for the "discovery and development of conductive polymers," according to the citation by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Heeger, 64, of the University of California at Santa Barbara, MacDiarmid, 73, of the University of Pennsylvania and Shirakawa, 64, of the University of Tsukuba learned that plastics can, with modifications, be made to conduct electricity as well as insulate. The three developed conductive polymers that have been used to reduce static electricity and interference on photographic film and computer screens. The plastics have also been used in the development of new color television screens and "smart windows" that reflect sunlight.

MacDiarmid and Hideki Shirakawa are to receive the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2000. How can plastic become conductive? Plastics are polymers , molecules that form long chains, repeating themselves like pearls in a necklace. In becoming electrically conductive, a polymer has to imitate a metal, that is, its electrons need to be free to move and not bound to the atoms. The first condition for this is that the polymer consists of alternating single and double bonds, called conjugated double bonds. Polyacetylene , prepared through polymerization of the hydrocarbon acetylene, has such a structure: Polyacetylene However, it is not enough to have conjugated double bonds. To become electrically conductive, the plastic has to be disturbed - either by removing electrons from (oxidation), or inserting them into (reduction), the material. The process is known as
