James Dun Goodfellow - 5 February 1947 – 25 December 2020
James Goodfellow was born in Kelso Scotland in 1947. His parents owned Ferneyhill Farm which overlooked Kelso Race course in the Scottish Boarders. During his formative years he enjoyed country pursuits culminating in being selected as part of the Scottish Clay shooting team (skeet). On one occasion in an International competition at York he shot a perfect score ,100 pts , he always maintained that the stress he felt having hit 48 clays with just 2 to go was the highest he had ever experienced.
He bred, trainedand raced horses for many years, though his favourite horse Tough Test was latterly trained at Jonjo O’Neill’s stables in England. He was a passionate nature lover and ornithologist with a very comprehensive knowledge of birds. Later in his working life he was a chief buyer for meat suppliers who at that time were the major Scottish exporters to England.

A proud native of Luxembourg, Diederich became known the world over both for his chemical discoveries and for his warm, lively, and interactive personality. Educated first in Luxembourg and then earning his diploma and doctorate at the University of Heidelberg, Germany with Heinz Staab, Diederich gained early fame for the first synthesis in 1978 of a hydrocarbon that Staab had named “Kekulene” to honor the discoverer of the structure of benzene.
Kekulene, containing 12 fused benzene rings in a planar circular structure, was resynthesized and studied by single-molecule imaging in 2019, and found to have the structural details predicted by Diederich and Staab. By conquering the synthesis of this molecule, Diederich became enamored of carbon-rich molecules that he studied throughout his career.
