Derek H. R. Barton (1918 - 1998)
With great sadness I learned with confirmation that Dr. Derek H. R.
Barton died in the evening of March 16, 1998, of age 80.
Professor Barton is a great scientist and a very kind human being.
He has been very supportice to our electronic journal, MOLECULES
(http://www.mdpi.org/molecules)
and served on the Editorial Board. He is also immediately
accepted my invitation to be a member of the International
Scientific Advisory Committee of ECSOC-1 as well as ECSOC-2
(http://www.mdpi.org/ecsoc-2.htm), The 2nd International Electronic
Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry.
I have attended his lecture entitled "How to win a Nobel Prize" twice.
He is very active in research and always ready to embrace new
things such as Internet application in chemistry. We exchanged
e-mails several times recently.
