CHADWICK A. TOLMAN
received his Ph.D. in
physical chemistry from the University of California at
Berkeley and is currently a program officer in the or-
ganic and macromolecular chemistry program in the
Division of Chemistry of the National Science Foun-
dation. He has extensive experience and expertise in
chemistry and chemical process development. Dr.
Tolman spent 31 years in Central Research at the
