American Chemical Society Award Winners, Chicago, III. The winners of the 1971 American Chemical Society Awards in Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Instrumentation were announced at the Fall ACS Meeting in Chicago just before ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY went to press. The recipients, their contributions, and their biographies appear below.

George H. Morrison has been named winner of the ACS Award in Analytical Chemistry. This award is sponsored by the Fisher Scientific Co. of Pitts burgh, P a . D r . Morrison is professor of chemistry and Director of the M a terials Science Center a t Cornell Uni versity and is named for his outstand ing research achievements a n d leader ship in t h e field of trace analysis a n d materials characterization. Although he has made many scientific contribu tions, he is specifically cited for per forming t h e most detailed and complete chemical analysis of the first lunar m a terial returned to earth. D r . Morri son's research accomplishments are primarily in trace analysis, solvent ex traction, activation analysis, emission spectroscopy, ion exchange, and spark source mass spectrometry. His work has been with moon samples, semicon ductors, phosphors, metals, a n d biologi cal materials. H e has been a pioneer in extending trace analysis to the p p b level and has had numerous publications and patents. M a n y of his research papers have appeared in ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY.

D r . Morrison received his B.A. in chemistry in 1942 from Brooklyn Col lege and earned his P h . D . in chemistry in 1948 from Princeton University. B e fore coming to Cornell University in

1961 he was head of inorganic and an alytical chemistry at General Telephone and Electronic Labs a t Bayside, Ν . Υ. His earlier experience was with the Atomic Energy Commission a t Rutgers University in New Brunswick, and with the U.S. Army M a n h a t t a n Project at Princeton University. D r . Morrison has been chairman of the Committee for Analytical Chemis t r y of the N A C - N R C and was a mem ber of the Advisory Panel for Chemis t r y for t h e National Science Founda tion. H e has been active in the Ameri can Chemical Society, t h e Scientific R e search Society of America, and has served on Advisory Boards of ANALYTI CAL

CHEMISTRY and

Talanta.

H e is

currently on editorial boards of Analytica Chemica Acta, Mikrochimica Acta, Separation Science, and The Analyst. Dr. Morrison is well known to A N ALYTICAL C H E M I S T R Y , not only for his

contributions as a member of our Ad visory Board, b u t also as a contributor and a reviewer. George Morrison

Fred McLafferty

Fred W. McLafferty has been named winner of t h e ACS Award in Chemical Instrumentation. This award is spon sored b y Sargent-Welch Scientific Co. D r . McLafferty is professor of chem istry a t Cornell University, Ithaca, N . Y . H e is cited b y this award for his role in the origination and improvement of mass spectrometry for analysis and structure determination of organic com pounds, as well as his more general con tributions in t h e area of analytical in strumentation. Recent research accom plishments include high-resolution field ion mass spectrometry, t h e use of ion molecule reactions for molecular and ion structure determination, computeraided interpretation of mass spectra, and t h e minimization of rearrangement reactions using collision-induced metastables. D r . McLafferty received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from the University of Nebraska in 1943 and 1947. H e r e ceived his P h . D . from Cornell Univer sity in 1949 and then held a postdoctorate fellowship a t t h e University of 59 A

• baseline separation • speed of analysis While you may get peaks from recent imitations of Porapak, you get this degree of separation only from the original porous polymer GC column packing— Porapak, made by Waters. Of the eight different Porapaks (two with surface silanization for deactivation of labile sites), Porapak " T " , used in this separation, has the highest polarity and the greatest water-retention capability. Note that the water peak occurs at 2 minutes, well after the formaldehyde peak. And the entire analysis takes only 31/2 minutes. Check these advantages of the Porapak materials: • Effective separation of aqueous samples; • No need for liquid coating, therefore no bleed; • Large surface areas; • Rapid overload recovery; • No adsorption of polar compounds; • Most Porapak materials stable to 250°C; • Easy handling for column-packing efficiency. We have a new catalog covering ourfull line of column-packing materials for gas and liquid chromatography. Write for it. Waters Associates, Inc., 61 Fountain St., Framingham, Mass. 01701.

MP-1033 Double-Beam Photometer This ratio-photometer converts any monochromator into a double-beam spectrophotometer. The unit gives a linear readout in absorbance or percent transmission. The beam splitter, a large sample compartment, and all necessary electronics for UV/visible/near-infrared ratio photometry are provided. All optics, except a single quartz collimating lens, are front-surface mirrors. The wavelength range is 200 to 1200nm, depending on the photomultiplier used. Useful range: 0 to 200°/oT or —0.3 to + 3 A . Photometric accuracy is ± 0 . 2 5 % of full scale and repeatability is ± 0 . 1 % of full scale. $1550.

His research, dealing with various problems and a p plications of gas chromatography and atomic absorption, will be supervised b y D r . Claude Veillon, assistant pro fessor of analytical chemistry, at the University of Houston. One major problem or disadvantage of atomic ab sorption is t h a t a different line source has to be used for each element, or a multiple element source can be used, but with a decrease in sensitivity.
