4. Other authors were no less formidable in this area of hydrogen bonding: The late Walter C. Hamilton, who coauthored with James Ibers a 1968 book Hydrogen Bonding in Solids;5 Richard C. Marsh, whose name has been transformed into a verb, with "marshed" denoting having had published cell constants and or space group corrected by Marsh; Barclay Kamb, Pauling's son-in-law, and a pioneer in the determination of the structures of many of the polymorphic forms of ice, as well as detailed studies of arctic glaciers. Pauling called him "his best student".6,7.

19. Patai was particularly effective at organizing the output of the steady stream of these very valuable volumes that in the end totaled 86. Mendel Cohen related to me some of the reasons for his success. Patai would initiate invitations to contribute to a projected volume well over two years in advance of the projected publication date, fully conscious of the fact the vast majority of invited authors had few writing commitments that far in advance, and even if they did, that period of time would seem adequate to accomplish the task. He would then send diplomatically worded reminders with increasing frequency as the due date approached. Inevitably some authors did not deliver the promised chapters, but Patai got the last word. He would note at the end of the introduction, as he did in our volume, "The original plan also included the following chapters which did not materialize: 'ORD and CD of quinones and related compounds' and 'Quinhydrone and semiquinone systems', but of course only he and the authors knew who had been delinquent.
