Autobiographical Sketch I was born in Bangalore, India, on June 30, 1934,the only child of Nagamma and Nagesa Rao. My father was in the teaching profession with degrees in history and education. Education had the highest importance in the family, and I received considerable encouragement and support from my parents. My mother, who taught me at home until I went to the middle school, was my first mentor. I enjoyed science classes at school and was excited by reading the lives of great scientists. I still remember the occasion of meeting Prof. C. V. Raman when I was in high school. In the summer of 1946,Prof. Raman spent nearly an hour taking me and two of my friends around his laboratory. As an undergraduate at Bangalore, I found both physics and chemistry interesting. Unfortunately, there were no research opportunities for undergraduates. I went to Banaras Hindu University for a Master’s degree in physical chemistry as the degree requirement included research. I obtained the Master’s degreein 1953at theageof 19,witha thesisonelectricaldischarges with Prof. S. S.Joshi. It was at this time that I read Nature of the Chemical Bond by Linus Pauling. This book had a great impact on me and was responsible for my fascination for research in areas related to molecular structure. With this ambition, I left India in late 1954 to Purdue University for my Ph.D. degree (after a brief stint at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, where I did some research work on adsorption and catalysis). For my Ph.D. studies, physical chemistry was the major subject and physics was the minor subject. This combination gave me considerable opportunity to take several physics courses. Although I was to work on the determination of molecular structure by electron diffraction of gases for my Ph.D. with Prof. R. L. Livingston, I initially worked on some problems in physical organic chemistry and spectroscopy as a research assistant to Prof. Eugene Lieber. This assistantship enabled me to study spectroscopy on my own and carry out a few investigations in this area. I was inspired by Prof. H. C. Brown with whom I took some courses. He encouraged me to carry out some independent work which I published during my Ph.D. studies. I owe much to Prof. Livingston, who gave me the freedom to work on research problems with several professors at Purdue, besides carrying out my Ph.D. work. Clearly, it was my graduate studies in the U S . (at Purdue University) that created an abiding interest in chemistry in me and a passion for research. I went to Berkeley for postdoctoral work with Prof. K. S. Pitzer. Prof. Pitzer, whom I consider to be a great physical chemist, has been a source of inspiration ever since. I came back to India from the U S . late in 1959and joined the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore, as a Lecturer. I had better offers with higher salaries from other institutions, but I picked IISc since I considered it to be the best graduate research Institute in India. This turned out to be a good decision. I married Indu (an M.A. in English) in 1960. I started my career at IISc with two Ph.D. students and initiated some work on spectroscopy. The only problem was that I had no spectrometers to work with. There was a manual UV-visible spectrometer for recording spectra of solutions. I could think of some reasonably interesting problems that could be tackled with this spectrometer and had to depend on Prof. C. V. Raman and some of the laboratories elsewhere to record infrared spectra. In spite of these limitations, I did not give up spectroscopy. We published a few papers, some of which became citation classics. I wrote a little monograph on UV-visible spectroscopy for chemists using molecular orbital notations (Butterworths, 1961) and a book on IR spectroscopy (Academic Press, 1963). My students and I started working in solid state chemistry with a tiny X-ray camera (5.7cm diameter) and almost no other equipment. We

worked on phase transitions in oxides and on some aspects of defect solids. My interest in solid state chemistry had been aroused after reading Garner’s book and by the eary workof J. S. Anderson and Carl Wagner. Although I could publish a few papers with my students (I had five Ph.D. students by 1961), it soon became clear that with the available facilities I could not plan a major program in spectroscopy or in solid state chemistry. I visited Chicago and Purdue for a few months a t that time, and on my return in late 1962, when I was seriously considering my professional plans for the future, the new Indian Institute of Technology at Kanpur (IIT/K) offered me an Associate Professorship. This Institute was supported by a consortium of American universities including MIT, Caltech, Berkeley, and Purdue. I took up this position and became the first Head of the Chemistry Department (and full Professor in 1964). I had the tremendous opportunity to build a department a t a young age, by attracting the best available young Indian chemists from the U S . and other parts of the world. We developed excellent undergraduate and graduate curricula. It was an exciting department to work in. Today, a large number of alumni of this department occupy important positions in India and elsewhere. We could get reasonable facilities for research a t IIT/K, but the spectrometers were a central facility. It was not possible to embark on a research program in spectroscopy since reliable instruments were not available for the purpose. Although we carried out some work in spectroscopy and molecular structure, I decided to make solid state chemistry the main theme of my research. We could fabricate little instruments, sufficient to take up a few good problems for study. I considered solid state chemistry to be an important area because it was still at its infancy in theearly 1960sand had much tocontribute to theunderstanding and development of materials. I spent 14 years a t IIT/K, and much of the work I have done in solid state chemistry was in some way initiated or thought of there. In 1965 Prof. C. V. Raman took personal interest in getting me elected as a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. In 1967,I received the Marlow Medal of the Faraday Society, England, the first international recognition. Although I have received many other awards since, I hold these two as the most important since they gave a boost to my morale a t a crucial juncture in my professional life. I went to Oxford during 197475 as a Commonwealth Professor at the invitation of Prof. J. S. Anderson, and this period was highly beneficial to the furthering of interests in solid state chemistry. It was during this period that I developed close association with Sir Neville Mott. Around 1975,it dawned on me that the quality of research in solid state chemistry and spectroscopy could not be improved unless I had better equipment and related infrastructural facilities. It was at this time that IISc, Bangalore, invited me back as a Professor to start a new department devoted to my areas of interest. That is how the Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit came into being. I had to attract funds from various agencies to build the necessary facilities for research. We got some equipment for spectroscopic research and also built instruments for the study of molecules and molecular interactions in the gas phase by photoelectron spectroscopy and related techniques. The Solid State and Structural Chemistry Unit has since been recognized by various national agencies as an advanced center for research. My interest in spectroscopy had diminished slightly by the late 1970s becauseof the long wait (1959-1978)to obtain minimum facilities. I still feel disappointed that I could not tackle many of the problems that I had thought of in spectroscopy. In solid state chemistry, however, my students and I have been able to do work on various aspects of the subject such as phase transitions, defect solids, transition metal oxides, and soon. We have studied

phenomena such as the metal-nonmetal transitions in complex oxides. We have employed computer simulations to understand phase transitions. We have tailor-made novel oxides and investigated structure-property relations. One of the oxide systems that we studied as early as in 1970 was that of layered oxides of the type La2Cu04. Little did we realize then that this would be the mother oxide for high-temperature superconductivity. We have since synthesized many interesting superconducting oxides and studied their structure, properties, and the phenomena exhibited by them. We have studied structures of complex catalysts by EXAFS (using a rotating anode) and other techniques and examined several interesting problems related to solid surfaces by photoelectron and related spectroscopies. We have recently carried out some work on metal clusters, fullerenes, and other nanomaterials and are continuing to explore ingenious chemical routes to design unusual, metastable solids. Doing experimental research has not been easy. Frequent failure of electricity and water supply alone is enough to make it nearly impossible to pursue experiments involving long runs, ultrahigh vacuum, etc. We have to have our own electric supply for each instrument or laboratory. I have found it necessary to have reasonable competence in fabricating and maintaining instruments. There is no way one can do modern experimental research in physical sciences, particularly in a developing country, without some capability in instrumentation. One cannot possibly depend on instrument suppliers located across continents to run a laboratory. There was a time when it was very difficult to get special chemicals and other types of materials. I used to keep collecting them from all over the world and bring them with me each time I went abroad. Fortunately, we can purchase materials nowadays relatively easily, but one has still to plan well ahead. We often run short of components and spares, IC’s, and the like; lasers and such expensive items often need replacement. Besides the immense cost, waiting is agonizing. One cannot think of an idea and expect to perform experiments in a reasonable period of time. I have had to wait for considerable periods to carry out some investigations and had to drop some altogether. With the few facilities that we have built and obtained, and the new strategies that I have adopted in carrying out research, things are much better today. We stilI miss many crucial facilities to tackle problems with the required degree of sophistication, but I shall not make excuses. During the past few years, I have been Director of the Institute and have also been developing the new Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research. Whatever may be my other commitments, I have managed to get a t least 6-8 hours each working day for research. I have worked full days over weekends and holidays as long as I remember. It seems that one has to work so much harder in India to accomplish something worthwhile. It was with the dream of developing a good experimental group in solid state and structural chemistry that I have worked all these years in India. While I am not sure that I have fully succeeded, it has been most satisfying to teach, train, and work with young people. This effort has certainly been more enjoyable than any other aspect of my professional life. Directing and administering institutions, advising the government, and working in important national and international committees and academies have all no doubt given me invaluable experience, but nothing can match the excitement of carrying out successful experiments with students. As I approach the age of 60,I am making research

plans for the next decade, hoping that there will be some young people still wanting to work with me. I owe much to the band of young students and other co-workers who have lovingly devoted themselves to research during their stay with me. But for their support, it would not have been possible to accomplish much. Many of my students have become experts in the areas they worked on during their graduate studies, and I haveoftendropped such aspects of research to let my co-workers pursue them more intensely. Many of my colleagues here at the IISc and a t IIT/K have collaborated with me, and I would like to specially acknowledge the collaboration of Professors S. V. Bhat, P. Ganguly, J. Gopalakrishnan, T. N. Guru Row, M. S. Hegde, N. Kumar, T. V. Ramakrishnan, S. Ramasesha, K. J. Rao, D. D. Sarma, A. K. Sood, and S. Yashonath. I am thankful to my professional colleagues in the different parts of the world who have given me considerable affection and encouragement which have helped me to pursue my efforts in India. My visits abroad have been helpful in making sure that I am pursuing the right direction, for it is often difficult toevaluate one’s efforts from a distant place, where there are not as many active groups working in one’s area of interest. My stay a t the University of Cambridge as Nehru Professor in 1983-84 was specially useful in this respect, and I am thankful to Prof. John Thomas (now Sir John Meurig Thomas) for his long-standing friendship. I have specially enjoyed the collaboration and friendship with Professors J. M. Honig, J. B. Goodenough, P. Hagenmuller, H. Ratajczak, W. J. Orville-Thomas, B. Raveau, P. P. Edwards, A. Rousset, and M. W. Roberts. I have been the recipient of the kindness and encouragement of many other chemists whom I admire, specially Professors F. A. Cotton, G. S. Hammond, Jack Lewis, J. Rouxel, S. Nagakura, and V. Koptyug. I have always treasured the feeling that I belong to a world community of chemists. This feeling got further reinforced when I was elected the President of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry some years ago. Indu, my wife for the past 34years, has not only been a constant support but has taken the brunt of running the household and taking care of the family, besides having her own professional commitments as an educator. I owe much to her and our two children. The Department of Science & Technology, Councilof Scientific & Industrial Research, and University Grants Commission and other agencies of the Government of India have been highly supportive of my research efforts. The U S . National Science Foundation and other U S . agencies have continuously funded my research. I am thankful to all of them. This special issue of The Journal of Physical Chemistry is a great 60th birthday present and has given me tremendous encouragement. I am most grateful to my physical chemistry colleagues, specially Prof. Mostafa El-Sayed and other editors of the Journal, the guest editors, Professors Angell, Bagchi, Buckingham, and Thomas, and the contributors, for this wonderful gesture. I have considered myself a physical chemist from the very beginning. The subject has grown in a big way in the past few decades, and The Journal of Physical Chemistry itself has been transformed in the past few years. It is a matter of great pleasure for me to be considered a physical chemist worthy of this special issue of the Journal. C. N . R. Rao
