Jiro Tsuji, 94, died April 1 in Kamakura, Japan.
“He was well known for his pioneering work on palladium-catalyzed reactions, which he started at Toray Industries after getting a PhD at Columbia University under the supervision of the late Gilbert Stork. We will always remember his genuine passion and love for chemistry throughout his life. He also loved art, history, and traveling. We thank his colleagues and friends worldwide for their ongoing, warm, and professional friendship. We are happy that he was our father who taught us generosity, honesty, hard work, intellectual pursuit, love, and many others things through his life.”—Tsuji family
