Nenad Trinajstić
Nenad Trinajstić (26 October 1936 – 27 August 2021) was a Croatian chemist and one of pioneers of the chemical graph theory.[1]
Life and work
Trinajstić was born in
University of Texas, Austin
with whom he has published 16 papers.
He worked at Pliva and Ruđer Bošković Institute eventually becoming a full research professor in 1977 and from 2001 professor emeritus at the University of Zagreb.[2]
His scientific interests are
resonance energy as a reliable theory of aromaticity.[6][7] In quantum chemistry he worked on semi-empirical molecular orbital theory and settling conjugated-circuit model on a firm quantum-mechanical basis.[8]
Trinajstić has published more than 500 scientific papers, about 150 technical papers and 12 books.
He was a full member of
Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences,[9] a member of International Academy of Mathematical Chemistry[10]
and was awarded the Mid–America State Universities Association Distinguished Foreign Scholar Award in 1986 and Croatian National Science Award in 2003.
Trinajstić died on 27 August 2021 at the age of 85.[11]
