A giant of chemistry with a giant heart. So many of us benefited hugely from Fraser’s wisdom, mentorship, generosity, kindness, friendship and support that extended many years beyond leaving his lab. Thanks, @sirfrasersays, you set the example for us all to follow
Very sad news of the passing of @sirfrasersays, a giant of chemistry for four decades. He pioneered (with J-P Sauvage) the chemistry of the mechanical bond (catenanes & rotaxanes) & recognised that their well defined motions could be useful for molecular machinery... 1/3
