The 15 pages that link to Hermann Staudinger, each with the reason it gives.

• Diels–Alder reactionRelated: His early investigations helped characterize the chemistry later named for Diels and Alder.

• IsopreneRelated: His work helped explain rubber as a large molecule built from smaller units.

• Wallace CarothersRelated: Staudinger’s argument that polymers are giant molecules framed the scientific questions Carothers investigated experimentally.
