Life
Work
Chemical reactions often occur through the influence of molecules that have cavities and pockets where other atoms and molecules can be attached to
then join with other molecules. In 1967 Charles Pedersen discovered crown ethers, a family of
ring-shaped molecules that have the ability to bind certain metallic atoms in the middle of the ring. The metallic atoms can then be released in organic compounds, something that had been difficult before. This opened up possibilities for bringing about chemical reactions in laboratories and creating chemical compounds.
