A Tribute to Máximo Barón
Abstract
Máximo Barón turned 80 in February 2009. Hard
to believe. It was only yesterday when I met
him for the first time! Yesterday? “Yesterday”
was 1995, at the IUPAC General Assembly in Guildford,
UK. I was invited as an observer, and Máximo was
already a distinguished titular member of the IUPAC
Commission on Macromolecular Nomenclature, with a
splendid scientific career.
