Abstract:
Correspondence, professional files, personal files, manuscripts, printed materials, notebooks, audio-visual materials, and photographic materials of German-American organic chemist Kurt M. Mislow.

Kurt M. Mislow (1923-2017) was a German-American organic chemist. He was a noted pioneer in stereochemistry and was responsible for introducing the concepts of symmetry and chirality to the field.

A German Jew, Kurt M. Mislow was born in Berlin, Germany on June 5, 1923 and spent the early part of his childhood in Dusseldorf, Germany. Mislow moved with his family to Milan, Italy in 1936 to escape persecution by the Nazis. When Italy expelled foreign born Jews, the Mislow Family moved to England in 1938. In England, Mislow finished his high school education at the Shoreham-by-the-Sea Grammar School and gained admission to the University of Cambridge, but his education was interrupted by the outbreak of World War II.

In 1940, due to his German nationality, Mislow was briefly interned as an enemy alien by British authorities. That same year, Mislow and his family received affidavits from his uncle, the well-known photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt, which permitted them to emigrate to the United States. The Mislow Family moved to the United States in late 1940, where they settled in New York City.

After his arrival in the United States, Mislow briefly attended Columbia University. In 1941, he was awarded a scholarship by Tulane University, where he earned his B.S. in Chemistry (1944). He continued his education at the California Institute of Technology, where he earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry (1947). At Caltech, Mislow conducted research under the supervision of American organic chemist and future two-time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling.

Shortly After earning his Ph.D., Mislow joined the faculty of New York University's Department of Chemistry. He rose through NYU's faculty ranks, serving as Instructor (1947-1951), Assistant Professor (1951-1956), Associate Professor (1956-1960), and Professor (1960-1964). At NYU, Mislow became a noted pioneer in the field of stereochemistry, the study of the three-dimensional arrangement of molecules and atoms in space. While conducting research on the stereochemistry of biphenyls, he introduced the concepts of symmetry and chirality to stereochemistry, which became key to understanding how molecular structure relates to function. These two concepts helped make stereochemistry fundamental in a number of scientific disciplines, including physics, biochemistry, genetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Mislow joined the faculty of Princeton University's Department of Chemistry in 1964, where he served as the Hugh Stott Taylor Professor of Chemistry (1964-1988) and Department Chairman (1968-1974). At Princeton, he continued his stereochemical research into symmetry and chirality, which included designing and synthesizing complex organic molecules that validated these two concepts. He also studied the structure of molecular rotors and gears. Mislow retired from Princeton at the rank of Professor Emeritus in 1988. In retirement, he devoted his attention to molecular topology ("rubber sheet" geometry), analyzing deformable chiral molecules such as knots and links.

In addition to his stereochemical research, Mislow was noted for his abilities as a teacher, teaching both undergraduate and graduate level chemistry classes over the course of his career. Several graduate students and fellows who studied under Mislow became prominent chemists in their own right, including Dennis A. Dougherty, Mark M. Green, and Jay S. Siegel. Mislow was also concerned with the social and political aspects of scientific research, which led him to teach the graduate level course "Social Responsibilities and Rights of Scientists" at Princeton.

Mislow authored and co-authored numerous scientific journal articles and papers over the course of his career. He was also author of the chemistry textbook Introduction to Stereochemistry (1965). Mislow was awarded two John Simon Guggenheim Fellowships (1956 and 1974) and an Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship (1959-1963). He was also the recipient of numerous awards, including the James Flack Norris Award (1975), William H. Nichols Award (1987), and Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award (1995).

Kurt M. Mislow passed away on October 5, 2017.

Series Description

This series contains Kurt M. Mislow's correspondence files. The contents of the Correspondence Files are arranged into the following two sub-series:

  1. Alphabetical Correspondence Files
  2. Miscellaneous Correspondence Files
Sub-series Description

Arranged alphabetically by subject, this sub-series contains Kurt M. Mislow's alphabetical correspondence files. The bulk of the materials in the Alphabetical Correspondence Files are professional in nature. A small amount of personal materials are also preserved here.

Correspondence files regarding other chemists make up the bulk of this sub-series. Files containing Mislow's correspondence with several prominent chemists, including Carl Djerassi, Vladimir Prelog, and Paul von Rague Schleyer are found in this sub-series. Several of the chemists represented in this sub-series were collaborators with Mislow, including Chengzhi Liang and Noham Weinberg. Correspondence files regarding several chemists who were graduate students or post-doctoral fellows supervised by Mislow, including Dennis A. Dougherty, Mark M. Green, and Jay S. Siegel are also preserved here.

In addition to Mislow's correspondence with other chemists, smaller, but noticeable, numbers of files regarding universities, fellowships (including Mislow's Guggenheim Fellowships), and awards (including Mislow's Arthur C. Cope Scholar Award and William H. Nichols Award) are also preserved in this sub-series.

A smaller, but noticeable, number of files concerning issues of concern within the scientific community, including research in recombinant DNA and the social responsibilities and rights of scientists are also present in this sub-series. Small numbers of files regarding miscellaneous other subjects, including the appearance and use of Borromean Rings in various cultures, the persecution of Soviet nuclear physicist Andrei Sakharov, and opposition to the Vietnam War are also present here.

The contents of the Subject Files consist of a variety of materials. Journal articles, reprints, magazine articles, and notes by Mislow are the most common materials found in this sub-series. Smaller, but noticeable, amounts of correspondence, newspaper articles, photocopied book chapters and pages, and article and paper manuscripts are also found in these files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, miscellaneous printed materials, newsletters, publications, and a few photographs and slides are preserved in this sub-series as well.
