Edward Malcolm Kosower (born February 2, 1929 Died April 7 2022) was an American-Israeli chemist. Kosower was born in Brooklyn, New York and attended high school at Stuyvesant, where he was a classmate of fellow chemist Andrew Streitwieser. He received his B.S. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1948 and Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1952 under the mentorship of Saul Winstein. After postdoctoral research at Basel with , and then at Harvard with Frank Westheimer, he began his independent career as assistant professor at Lehigh University (1954) and the University of Wisconsin (1956). In 1961, he moved to Stony Brook University as associate professor where he was later promoted to full professor. In 1972, he moved to Tel Aviv University, where

Kosower studierte am Massachusetts Institute of Technology mit dem Bachelor-Abschluss 1948 bei John D. Roberts und wurde 1952 an der University of California, Los Angeles bei Saul Winstein mit der Arbeit The "i-Sterol" (homoallylic) rearrangement promoviert. Als Post-Doktorand war er in Basel bei Cyril A. Grob und an der Harvard University bei Frank Westheimer. Ab 1954 war er Assistant Professor an der Lehigh University und 1956 Instructor und danach Assistant Professor an der University of Wisconsin. 1961 wurde er Associate Professor und später Professor an der State University of New York at Stony Brook. Seit 1972 ist er Professor in Tel Aviv, ab 1992 als Josef Kryss Professor für Biophysikalische Organische Chemie. 1968/69 war er am Weizmann-Institut und 1977 erhielt er den Weizmann-Preis mit seiner Frau Nechama Sternschuss. 1984 erhielt er den Kolthoff Award des Technion und 1996 den Rothschild-Preis in Chemie. Kosower führte in seiner Zeit in Harvard und Wisconsin einen Z-Wert zum Messen der Polarität von Flüssigkeiten über das UV-Absorptions-Maximum von Salzen ein. An der SUNY entdeckte er stabile und destillierbare Pyridinyl-Radikale und die Thiole oxidierende Reagenz Diamide. In Israel arbeitete er an Fluoreszenz-Markern (Bimane), Mobilitäts-Agenten für Membranen (Membrane Mobility Agents), Elektron-Transferreaktionen und FTIR-Spektroskopie auf planaren Silber-Halogenid-Fasern, Modellierung von biologischen Rezeptoren und Kanälen. Er ist Autor mehrerer Lehrbücher. 1960 bis 1964 war er Sloan Research Fellow und 1977/78 Guggenheim Fellow. Er ist Mitglied der American Association for the Advancement of Science. (de)

In 1961, he moved to Stony Brook University as associate professor where he was later promoted to full professor. In 1972, he moved to Tel Aviv University, where he was named the Josef Kryss Professor of Biophysical Organic Chemistry in 1992. He was a Guggenheim Fellow from 1977 to 1978, and is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He is best known for his earlier work in physical organic chemistry and later work in biophysical chemistry. In particular, he developed the Z scale for solvent polarity based on the solvatochromic effect for zwitterionic dyes and investigated bimane dyes as fluorescent labels. Kosower is the author of an early textbook on physical organic chemistry, An Introduction to Physical Organic Chemistry (Wiley, 1968), and joined Streitwieser and Heathcock as coauthor of the 4th edition of their influential textbook, Introduction to Organic Chemistry (Macmillan, 1992).
