Wilkinson

Japanese: ウィルキンソン
Wilkinson

British chemist. After studying at Imperial College London, he participated in the Canadian nuclear program during World War II (1943-1946). He then conducted research at the University of California, Berkeley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard University, before returning to Imperial College in 1956 to teach inorganic chemistry. He studied isotopes in the 1940s, but began researching transition metal complexes around 1950. He proposed a sandwich structure for ferrocene (bis(cyclopentadienyl)iron(II)), which was synthesized around this time, and synthesized a compound with this structure. In 1965, he discovered the Wilkinson complex [Rh Cl(P(C 6 H 5 ) 3 )]. For his research into organometallic chemistry, he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with EO Fischer in 1973. His famous inorganic chemistry textbook, Advanced Inorganic Chemistry (1962), which he co-wrote with FA Cotton, is well known.

イギリスの化学者.ロンドン大学インペリアル・カレッジで学んだ後,第二次世界大戦中はカナダで核開発計画に参加(1943~1946年).その後,カリフォルニア大学バークレー校,マサチューセッツ工科大学,ハーバード大学で研究を行い,1956年インペリアル・カレッジへ戻り,無機化学を担当した.1940年代には同位体の研究を行っていたが,1950年ころから遷移金属錯体の研究を開始した.このころに合成されたフェロセン(ビス(シクロペンタジエニル)鉄(Ⅱ))のサンドイッチ構造を提案し,こうした構造をもつ化合物の合成を行った.また,1965年には,ウィルキンソン錯体[RhCl(P(C6H5)3)]を発見した.こうした有機金属化学の研究に対して,1973年E.O. Fischer(フィッシャー)とともにノーベル化学賞を受賞.かれがF.A. Cottonとともに書いた無機化学教科書Advanced Inorganic Chemistry(1962年)は有名である.
