摘要：

Observations made in the course of experiments on pyridinium salts led to important discoveries in physical organic chemistry. The way in which the discoveries were made is likened to art rather than goal-directed "cold logic". We can describe the art of discovery as in effort enhanced by practice and intuition to recognize novelty in a finding provide productive insight into its nature. We shall present some examples, and describe what happened after finding all unexpected light absorption band, a surprising solvent effect on spectra, and an unexpectedly stable and beautiful small organic radical.
