PREFACE TO THE SPECIAL ISSUE OF FU PHYS CHEM TECH, DEDICADED TO PROFESSOR RADOSAV M. PALIĆ ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY

This special issue of FU Phys Chem Tech is dedicated to Professor Radosav M. Palić on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Dr. Palić has made important contributions in many areas of chemistry, his main interest being the chemistry of volatile plant metabolites and their antimicrobial activity. He was the pioneer of the phytochemical research at the University of Niš. The authors of the papers published in this issue (all manuscripts underwent a rigorous peer-review process) are his former students and/or his scientific collaborators, who are grateful to him for his contribution to the development of chemistry not only at the University of Niš but also in Serbia. PREDGOVOR SPECIJALNOM BROJU ČASOPISA FU Phys Chem Tech, POSVEĆENOM PROFESORU RADOSAVU M. PALIĆU, U ČAST NJEGOVOG 70. ROĐENDANAOvaj specijalni broj časopisa FU Phys Chem Tech je posvećen profesoru Radosavu M. Paliću, u čast njegovog 70. rođendana. Dr Palić je dao značajan doprinos različitim oblastima hemije, a najviše se bavio proučavanjem hemije isparljivih biljnih metabolita i njihovom antimikrobnom aktivnošću. Profesor Palić je bio pionir fitohemijskih istraživanja na Univerzitetu u Nišu. Autori radova objavljenih u ovom broju (svi rukopisi su podvrgnuti naučnoj recenziji) su njegovi bivši studenti i/ili saradnici, koji su mu zahvalni na svemu što je on učinio za razvoj hemije ne samo na Univerzitetu u Nišu, već i u Srbiji uopšte
