William Klemperer
William A. Klemperer is a prominent and accomplished American chemist who was one of the most influential chemical physicists and molecular spectroscopists in the second half of the 20'th century. Klemperer is most widely known for introducing molecular beam methods into chemical physics research, greatly increasing the understanding of nonbonding interactions between atoms and molecules through development of the microwave spectroscopy of van der Waals molecules formed in supersonic expansions, pioneering astrochemistry, including developing the first gas phase chemical models of cold molecular clouds that predicted an abundance of the molecular HCO+ molecular ion that was later confirmed by radio astronomy.
==Biography==
Bill Klemperer was born in New York City in 1927 and was raised there and in New Rochelle. His parents were both Physicians. Bill graduated from New Rochelle High school in 1944 and then enlisted in the U.S. Navy Air Corps, where he trained as a tail gunner. He obtained an A.B. from Harvard University in 1950, majoring in Chemistry, and then headed to the University of California, Berkeley, where in early 1954 he obtained a Ph.D. in Physical Chemistry under the direction of George C. Pimentel. After one semester as Instructor at Berkeley, Bill returned to Harvard in July, 1954. Klemperer's initial appointment was an instructor of analytical chemistry, but he quickly rose through the ranks and was appointed full professor in 1965. He has remained associated with Harvard Chemistry throughout his long career. He spent 1968-69 on sabbatical with the Astronomers at Cambridge University and 1979-81 as Assistant Director for Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the U.S. National Science Foundation. He was a visiting scientist at Bell Laboratories during a time when it was the premier industrial laboratory. Klemperer became an emeritus professor in 2002 but is still active in both research and teaching.
