About Paulingite Subgroup
Member of:
Name:
Named after Linus Carl Pauling (28 February 1901, Portland, Oregon, USA – 19 August 1994, Big Sur, California), professor of chemistry, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA, "in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the understanding of the complex structures of silicate minerals and other compounds." He was one of the most important scientists of all time, published more than 1200 papers and books, and was awarded numerous awards including the 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1962 Nobel Peace Prize, and 1967 Roebling Medal.
Paulingite was originally described in 1960. The name was promoted to subgroup in the zeolite redefinitions of 1997.
