Tribute to Katritzky

摘要

Thank you for sending me a copy of Chemistry in Australia, June 2014, with the obituary of my husband, Alan R. Katritzky. Several of his students and collaborators went on to positions in Australian universities and it was a great privilege to visit them there on several occasions, and to forge new links and refresh longstanding ones with chemistry in Australia. Among them 'Kappa' Cornforth, who like Alan took his PhD with Sir Robert Robinson. So the article on him (p. 5) brought back happy memories with him and his admirable wife Rita.
