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 logically our earlier article Croatian Chemistry in the 19th Century (Kem. ind. 55 (2006) 333-339).
