Woodward and Hoffmann. Hoffmann and Woodward. A Close Collaboration Had Yet to Begin**
In 1965, R. B. Woodward and Roald Hoffmann published five communications in the Journal of the American Chemical Society in which they outlined the mechanisms of electrocyclizations, cycloadditions, and sigmatropic reactions – today known as the Woodward-Hoffmann rules. Over the next several years, the organic chemistry community rushed to test the validity of the W−H rules and expand the range of reactions covered by them. Meanwhile, Woodward and Hoffmann were besieged with invitations to lecture and write expositions on these concepts. In this publication, I present an analysis of Woodward and Hoffmann's next publications in 1966 and 1967 on the W−H rules. Two of these publications were based on lectures Woodward or Hoffmann presented in late 1965 and 1966. I also discuss their own continuing research on the topic in this time period (all by Hoffmann; none by Woodward). I conclude that the assumed intimate collaboration of Woodward and Hoffmann had actually not yet begun.
期刊介绍：
The Chemical Record (TCR) is a "highlights" journal publishing timely and critical overviews of new developments at the cutting edge of chemistry of interest to a wide audience of chemists (2013 journal impact factor: 5.577). The scope of published reviews includes all areas related to physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and medicinal chemistry as well as interdisciplinary fields.
TCR provides carefully selected highlight papers by leading researchers that introduce the author''s own experimental and theoretical results in a framework designed to establish perspectives with earlier and contemporary work and provide a critical review of the present state of the subject. The articles are intended to present concise evaluations of current trends in chemistry research to help chemists gain useful insights into fields outside their specialization and provide experts with summaries of recent key developments.
