[edit] Supramolecular Chemistry
I reformated the "Applications" section giving it subheadings for medical and chemical uses of resorcinol. I also added a short paragraph on the use of resorcinol as a template molecule in supramolecular chemistry. Mrestko 01:15, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] From Britannica
I was previously worried (deleted message) that this article was plagerized, but reading the notes on the edit history, the material is taken from an old Encylopedia Britannica, which is allowed I guess. Still the writing is dense, but obviously the content is terrific.--Smokefoot 23:28, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Who invented it?
Who invented resorcinol? I think he was a Russian chemist. I believe it was invented in Japan many years ago.
