Organic Chemistry

Before Frank Carey retired in 2000, his career teaching chemistry was spent entirely at the University of Virginia. In addition to this text, he is coauthor (with Robert C. Atkins) of Organic Chemistry: A Brief Course and (with Richard J. Sundberg) of Advanced Organic Chemistry, a twovolume treatment designed for graduate students and advanced undergraduates. Frank and his wife Jill are the parents of Andy, Bob, and Bill and the grandparents of Riyad, Ava, Juliana, Miles, Wynne, and Michael. Robert M. Giuliano was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania, and attended Penn State (B.S. in chemistry) and the University of Virginia (Ph.D., under the direction of Francis Carey). Following postdoctoral studies with Bert Fraser-Reid at the University of Maryland, he joined the chemistry department faculty of Villanova University in 1982, where he is currently Professor. His research interests are in synthetic organic and carbohydrate chemistry, and in functionalized carbon nanomaterials. Bob and his wife Margot, an elementary and preschool teacher he met while attending UVa, are the parents of Michael, Ellen, and Christopher and grandparents of Carina, Aurelia, and Serafina.
