“…''He had no competition-he was alone-he was original-he did something important-he knew it was important-and he knew what to do with his discovery… It is my belief that Pedersen's demonstration of the feasibility for synthesizing multiheteromacrocycles is leading to the development of a whole new synthetic field of organic host-guest chemistry.'' 4 Details of Pedersen's early life, his professional career, and his serendipitous discovery of crown ethers have been presented in his first-hand accounts, 1,5,6 and by Schroeder. 4 About ten years after his initial papers appeared, Pedersen published a detailed and extensive historical account of the compounds he had prepared, including their synthesis, their physical and metal complexation properties, and projected applications that he thought they might have.…”
