F. E. Stary and R. W. Murray co-discovered the class of organic compounds called hydrotrioxides, ROOOH. See publication 3 below.
F. E. Stary worked with pioneer D. W. Larsen on Molecular Motion Energetics, see publications 6-8 and 10-12.
F. E. Stary is the designer and originator of the folkspolarimeter, see publication 15 below.
