Abstract

Gil Valdo José da Silva, from Guaimbê, São Paulo, rose above the constraints of his small-town upbringing. He moved to São Paulo in 1970 and graduated from the Antárctica Technical School with a degree in Industrial Chemistry. Initially employed by General Motors do Brasil, his zeal for knowledge drove him to pass the entrance exam at the University of S. Paulo's Chemistry Institute (IQ-USP) in 1975. Balancing studies and work, he taught chemistry in schools and developed a passion for teaching. Gil Valdo graduated in 1980 and went on to undertake doctoral studies in organic synthesis of natural goods. He was interested in research, particularly chemical synthesis and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques. His accomplishments went beyond the classroom; he became a licensed pilot, a Dive Master, and a lover of languages, culinary arts, and winemaking. Gil Valdo retired in December 2021, after more than 30 years at FFCLRP-USP, to pursue his passions more freely. He died on July 21, 2023, as a result of a heart attack. He was survived by a loving family and a legacy of intellectual, scientific, and cultural achievements. Gil Valdo José da Silva will be remembered for his serenity, dedication, and the diverse interests that enriched his life and the lives of those who were lucky enough to know him.

吉尔-瓦尔多-若泽-达席尔瓦（1954-2023）

来自圣保罗瓜伊姆贝的吉尔-瓦尔多-若泽-达席尔瓦摆脱了小镇成长环境的束缚。1970 年，他搬到圣保罗，毕业于 Antárctica 技术学校，获得工业化学学位。他最初受雇于巴西通用汽车公司，但对知识的狂热促使他于 1975 年通过了圣保罗大学化学学院（IQ-USP）的入学考试。在兼顾学习和工作的同时，他还在学校教授化学，并对教学产生了浓厚的兴趣。吉尔-瓦尔多于 1980 年毕业，并继续攻读天然产物有机合成方面的博士学位。他对研究很感兴趣，尤其是化学合成和核磁共振（NMR）技术。他的成就不仅限于课堂，他还成为了一名有执照的飞行员、潜水大师，以及语言、烹饪艺术和葡萄酒酿造的爱好者。Gil Valdo 在 FFCLRP-USP 工作了 30 多年后，于 2021 年 12 月退休，以更自由地追求他的激情。2023 年 7 月 21 日，他因心脏病突发去世。他有一个温馨的家庭，并留下了丰富的知识、科学和文化成就。人们将铭记吉尔-瓦尔多-若泽-达席尔瓦的宁静、奉献精神和丰富多彩的兴趣爱好，这些都丰富了他和有幸认识他的人们的生活。

期刊介绍： Orbital: The Electronic Journal of Chemistry is a quarterly scientific journal published by the Institute of Chemistry of the Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. Original contributions (in English) are welcome, which focus on all areas of Chemistry and their interfaces with Pharmacy, Biology, and Physics. Neither authors nor readers have to pay fees. The journal has an editorial team of scientists drawn from regions throughout Brazil and world, ensuring high standards for the texts published. The following categories are available for contributions: 1. Full papers 2. Reviews 3. Papers on Education 4. History of Chemistry 5. Short communications 6. Technical notes 7. Letters to the Editor The Orbital journal also publishes a number of special issues in addition to the regular ones. The central objectives of Orbital are threefold: (i) to provide the general scientific community (at regional, Brazilian, and worldwide levels) with a formal channel for the communication and dissemination of the Chemistry-related literature output by publishing original papers based on solid research and by reporting contributions which further knowledge in the field; (ii) to provide the community with open, free access to the full content of the journal, and (iii) to constitute a valuable channel for the dissemination of Chemistry-related investigations.
