Clara Brink Shoemaker

Clara Brink Shoemaker (20 June 1921 in Rolde - 30 September 2009) was a Dutch-born American crystallographer and a senior research professor at Oregon State University.[1][2][3][4] As a postdoctoral researcher, she worked on the structure determination of vitamin B12 in the group of Dorothy Hodgkin.[1][5] Together with her husband, David Shoemaker, she contributed to the research on transition metal phases and intermetallic compounds.[1][6] They were the first to recognize that interstices in tetrahedrally close-packed metal crystals are exclusively tetrahedral and only have four types of coordination polyhedra.[1][7]
