Fifty Years of a Dispute. A Triptych: Why Woodward?**

“…Ranganathan's vitamin B 12 results and learned about the alternation in stereospecificities between thermal and photochemical reactions. [153] 2. According to Lehn, "One evening RBW came in and jotted down on a yellow pad (Figure 31) his [Woodward's] ideas on the stereochemical features of thermal and photo-chemical reactions of dienes and trienes.…”

“…I provided them to him, but did not pursue further." [154] "I seem to recall that the hexatriene orbitals came from the literature." [155] 4.…”

“…[154] "I seem to recall that the hexatriene orbitals came from the literature." [155] 4. And, "I then wanted to learn computational chemistry and did computations with Roald Hoffmann who became a close friend using extended Hückel Theory, on the bringing together of two ethylenes towards a cyclobutane.…”

“…This must have been at the beginning of spring of 1964." [154] Fleming recalled, "I remember [Jean-Marie Lehn] coming into the room that he and John Carnduff shared, carrying a heap of printout -my first sighting of that now dated commodity. As I recall this was after Bob's telling me 'It's something to do with the molecular orbitals', otherwise I wouldn't have known what it was about.…”
