Chris,
As I work in the university library I have tried to find some of the
papers of Schorlemmer but I have not suceeded in locating anything of
interest. I have looked through all his published works in English
but do not know enough about chenistry to spot the interesting bits.
All the biographies are in German from the commemorations in the GDR,
but I do not read German.
As the geatest communist in Germany as Marx and Engels described him
it is a pity there is not more on him especially in Britain where he
lived all his adult life and who was so significant in Organic
Chemistry (in fact the world's first professor of the subject). He
really did come to communism because of the its scientific
rationale.
What is the 2000 page document you are referring to? What other
information on him do you have? I would greatly appreciate more
information on him?
Regards,
John
