62. Structure of benzene. Part XVIII. The Raman spectra of 1 : 4-dideuterobenzene and 1 : 2 : 4 : 5-tetradeuterobenzene : description and analysis

On the nonexistent Nobel Prizes for two pioneers of modern physical organic chemistry: Sir Christopher K. Ingold and Saul Winstein†

“…First, in 1946, Ingold and his colleagues published a series of 11 consecutive publications in the Journal of the Chemical Society comprising 112 pages establishing the hexagonal structure of benzene 29–39 . As mentioned above, Ingold was an author of only seven of these publications, but clearly his hand was active and central to all 11.…”

“…First, in 1946, Ingold and his colleagues published a series of 11 consecutive publications in the Journal of the Chemical Society comprising 112 pages establishing the hexagonal structure of benzene. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] As mentioned above, Ingold was an author of only seven of these publications, but clearly his hand was active and central to all 11. In these studies, Ingold and his colleagues synthesized a series of deuterated benzenes and analyzed their infrared and Raman spectra, and "the structure of benzene, which had begun in 1865 by Kekulé, was finally solved in its entirety."…”
