Abstract

The development of Croatian chemistry in the first half of the 20th century is outlined. In that period Croatia had gone through three political systems – Austro-Hungarian Monarchy (1901– 1918), monarchist Yugoslavia (1918–1941) and Independent State of Croatia (1941–1945). The leading people and important developments in Croatian chemistry in those times are delineated. The ground-breaking influence of Gustav Janeček and Nobel prize winner Vladimir Prelog on Croatian chemistry is emphasized, each in a different way. This article follows
