Kurt M. Mislow, Hugh Stott Taylor Professor of Chemistry Emeritus at Princeton University, died peacefully on October 5th, 2017 at the age of 94. Through the use of non‐numerical mathematical models to conceptualize molecular form and function, Mislow pioneered the development of a modern stereochemistry, with contributions including the chiroptical properties of biaryls, resolution of phosphine oxides, and the use of NMR spectroscopy for the study of stereodynamic processes.
