Friedel family
The Friedel family is a French family that produced several notable scientists over four generations, in a direct lineage from the chemist Charles Friedel to the physicist Jacques Friedel.[1]
- Charles Friedel (1832–1899), chemist known for the Friedel–Crafts reaction; great-grandfather of Jacques[1][2]
- Georges Friedel (1865–1933), crystallographer and mineralogist, known for his work on liquid crystals; son of Charles[1][3]
- Edmond Friedel (1895–1972), mining engineer who directed the École des Mines de Paris; son of Georges[1]
- Jacques Friedel (1921–2014), physicist; son of Edmond[1][4]
A French botanist, Jean Friedel (1874–1941), is also recorded as a son of Charles Friedel.
