ERNESTO GIESBRECHT, GREAT CHEMICAL EDUCATOR AND FATHER OF BRAZILIAN INORGANIC CHEMISTRY
Abstract:
<p align="justify"> Ernesto Giesbrecht, Brazil s foremost inorganic chemist, and chemical educator was born in Ponta Grossa, Parana, Brazil in 1921 and passed away in Sao Paulo in 1996. He obtained the Bachelor Degree in Chemistry from the University of Sao Paulo in 1943 and was awarded a Doctor of Science Degree by the same institution in 1947. He worked at the University of Sao Paulo most of his life and published over one hundred and fifty scientific papers dealing with alkaloids, compounds of sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, chemical education, and the chemistry of Lanthanides and actinides. He trained approximately thirty research scientists in inorganic chemistry, which eventually spread chemical education and inorganic chemistry throughout Brazi I. Prof. Ernesto Giesbrecht was a great chemical educator and may be considered the father of Brazilian Inorganic Chemistry. </p>
