I was born in Mexico City on March 19, 1943; my parents were Roberto Molina Pasquel and Leonor Henriquez de Molina. My father was a lawyer; he had a private practice, but he also taught at the National University of Mexico (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM) ). In his later years, after I had left Mexico, he served as Mexican Ambassador to Ethiopia, Australia and the Philippines. During my first year at Berkeley, I took courses in physics and mathematics, in addition to the required courses in physical chemistry. I then joined the research group of Professor George C. Pimentel, with the goal of studying molecular dynamics using chemical lasers, which were discovered in his group a few years earlier. It was also at that time that I met Luisa Tan, who was a fellow graduate student in Pimentel's group and who later became my wife and close scientific collaborator. George Pimentel was also a pioneer in the development of matrix isolation techniques, which is widely used in the study of the molecular structure and bonding of transient species. He was an excellent teacher and a wonderful mentor; his warmth, enthusiasm, and encouragement provided me with inspiration to pursue important scientific questions.

Mario Molina Wins Nobel Prize in Chemistry News Office By Shang-Lin Chuang News Editor Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Mario J. Molina will share this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in atmospheric chemistry concerning the formation and decomposition of ozone. The Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm, Sweden awarded the million-dollar prize on Wednesday morning to Molina, F. Sherwood Rowland of the University of California at Irvine, and Paul Crutzen, a scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany. Ordinary activities deplete ozone Molina, Rowland, and Crutzen showed that the use of common items like spray cans and air conditioners can harm the fragile ozone layer that protects the world from the dangerous ultra-violet radiation of the sun. This is the first time that the Swedish Academy has awarded a Nobel Prize for research into the impact of man-made objects on the environment. The discoveries led to an international environmental treaty, which, by the end of this year, bans the production of industrial chemicals that reduce the ozone layer. "It's very rewarding to see how one can simultaneously try to work with problems that affect society in a very direct way," Molina said.

Nobel Causes MIT Nobel Prize wiinners -Mario Molina and Pugwash- focused on the consequences of modern technology By Brett Altschul MIT was honored by two Nobel Prizes this year, both of which were related to the consequences of man's tech- nological advances. Professor of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Mario J. Molina shared the 1995 Nobel Prizes in chemistry for his work in explaining the chemical mechanisms of ozone depletion. The Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs, a group of scientists pushing for the elimination of nuclear arms, received the 1995 Nobel Peace Prize. At least six people affiliated with MIT are members of Pugwash. This is the second time an organization with strong ties to MIT has won the peace prize. In total, MIT-affiliated Nobel laureates in science include nine current MIT faculty members, three former faculty members, and 10 other alumni. Molina is the first MIT faculty member to win the chemistry prize. Ordinary activities deplete ozone Molina shared the Nobel Prize with F. Sherwood Rowland of the University of California at Irvine and Paul Crutzen of the Max Planck Institute in Mainz, Germany.

Molina Born: Major discipline: Physical Chemistry Died: Minor discipline: Mario Jose Molina, awarded the 1995 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in atmospheric chemistry concerning the formation and decomposition of ozone, was born in Mexico City on March 19, 1943. He graduated from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico in 1965 with a degree in chemical engineering. Shortly thereafter he went to the University of Freiburg in West Germany where he obtained an M.S. degree in polymerization kinetics in 1967. He returned to Mexico City to take a position as an assistant professor at his alma mater in the chemical engineering department. The following year, he went to the University of California, Berkeley and earned a Ph.D. in physical chemistry in 1972. Molina began his collaboration with F. Sherwood Rowland of the University of California, Irvine in 1973 as a postdoctoral fellow. They started to investigate the discovery that the global atmospheric concentrations of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were approximately the same as would be predicted if all industrial gaseous emissions were still present in the atmosphere. They found that CFCs persist in the stratosphere for long periods of time and that, from a small fraction of them, chlorine could be split out by the interaction of the CFCs with ultraviolet light from the sun. This, in turn, caused a chain reaction in which ozone molecules are destroyed, but active chlorine-containing species are regenerated to begin the cycle again.

Molina, Mario, Mario Molina, 1995 Nobel Prize for Chemistry , along with chemists F. Sherwood Rowland and Paul Crutzen , for research in the 1970s concerning the decomposition of the ozonosphere, which shields the Earth from dangerous solar radiation. The discoveries of Molina and Rowlandthat some industrially manufactured gases deplete the ozone layerled to an international movement in the late 20th century to limit the widespread use of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) gases. Molina studied chemical engineering at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (B.S., 1965) in Mexico City and received an advanced degree from the University of Freiburg (1967) in West Germany before returning to his alma mater to become an associate professor (1967-68). He resumed his education in the United States at the University of California, Berkeley (Ph.D., 1972), where he worked for a year before joining Rowland at the University of California, Irvine. The pair conducted experiments on pollutants in the atmosphere, discovering that CFC gases rise into the stratosphere, where ultraviolet radiation breaks them into their component elements of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon. There, each chlorine atom is capable of destroying about 100,000 ozone molecules before becoming inactive. Molina was the principal author of the paper describing their theories, which was published in the scientific journal

"La historia del ozono ha sido una historia de éxito", dijo el Dr. Molina en su primera conferencia de prensa luego de obtener el Nobel. "Para mí este es un buen ejemplo de cómo el mundo puede trabajar unido para resolver problemas", agregó. Molina nació en la Ciudad de México, y "desde muy temprano, como estudiante de preparatoria, recuerdo que me fascinaban las ciencias". "Pero tener ese interés no resultaba particularmente fácil, porque la cultura latinoamericana no es muy proclive a favorecer las ciencias, especialmente a esa edad", contó Molina al ganar el premio.

< Back Home Teacher's Guide Next > Mario Molina In 1973 Mario Molina was a postdoctoral researcher working in the laboratory of F. Sherwood Rowland at the University of California at Irvine, just south of Los Angeles, when he made an unsettling discovery. He had been investigating a class of compounds called chlorofluorocarbons , or CFCs. CFCs were used as refrigerants , aerosol sprays, and in making plastic foams. Molina wondered what happened to them once they were released into the atmosphere. This was a hypothetical study, but his results showed disturbingly that CFCs could, in theory, destroy a compound called ozone under the conditions that exist in the upper atmosphere. Far above the earth's surface, a thin layer of ozone floats, protecting us from the sun's ultraviolet radiation . Molina, just a young scientist at the time, was nervous about showing Rowland his theory of how CFCs might destroy ozone . But if CFCs really could wipe out ozone, the whole world would be in trouble. Rowland took his protégé seriously. Over the next two decades he and Molina became voices crying in the wilderness, alerting the world to the danger of CFCs and ozone depletion. They weren't always heeded. Bans on CFCs in aerosol sprays went into effect first in the United States in 1978, and later in Canada, Norway, and Sweden. CFC use for other purposes only increased. Scientists, activists, politicians, and CFC-producing companies would argue for years over the merit of Molina's theories.

< Back Home Student Version Next > This reading not only introduces the students to Mario Molina, but it also introduces the problem of ozone depletion. Molina was the first scientist to predict ozone loss due to the use of chlorofluorocarbons, and all efforts to reduce and eliminate the use of chlorofluorocarbons stem ultimately from his work. The story of his career parallels the story of the ozone-CFC issue. His involvement with the issue began early in his career, and the students should be aware of the boldness necessary for a young scientist of unproven reputation to call on the people of the industrialized world to make significant lifestyle changes, corporations to make costly changes to their product lines, and governments to impose inconvenient regulations. The reading may be used to raise thorny issues. Clearly the dangers of science are revealed in the ozone-CFC problem. At the same time, the work of Mario Molina, as well as the other scientists in this module, shows that science is absolutely crucial to understanding and addressing the problems created by the less-enlightened use of science and technology in times past. These issues raise the question of the responsibility of the scientist. After making a frightening discovery, Molina felt responsible to enter the public arena, actively campaigning for the regulation of CFCs. Is it proper for ideally objective scientists to become involved in politics and public policy debates? Can a scientist carry out objective research if committed to one view or another? Differing opinions abound on questions like this, and the students should be encouraged to explore their own thoughts on such issues.
