Obituary highlights Dwaine O. Cowan's impact on organic chemistry and his pioneering work in conductors.
Dwaine O. Cowan, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry at the Johns Hopkins University, who designed, synthesized, and characterized the first “organic metals,” died on May 5, 2006 in Clovis, California after a long illness. One of the dominant, world-renowned figures in physical organic chemistry for more than three decades, he was considered the father of “organic conductors and superconductors,” a burgeoning new area of interdisciplinary science. His life and work and its possible applications are discussed in this article.
