Physical chemists Physical chemists Boris Petrovich Nikolsky ( 1900- 1990) – Russian ( Soviet) was a physical chemist and radiochemist, Academician of the Soviet Academy of Sciences, and professor of Saint Petersburg (then Leningrad) State University. Made an important contribution to study of ion exchange between aqua solutions and different solids (soils, ionites, glasses). He developed the glass electrode theory and equations which describes properties of glass electrodes as well as ion-selective electrodes depending on chemical structure and multicomponent composition of glass, concurrent interference of ions and so on. ...more on Wikipedia about "Boris Petrovich Nikolsky"

Dr. Herbert A. Hauptman (born February 14, 1917) is a world renowned American mathematician and Nobel laureate. He pioneered and developed a mathematical method that has changed the whole field of chemistry and opened a new era in research in determination of molecular structures of crystallized materials. Today, Dr. Hauptman's direct methods, which he has continued to improve and refine, are routinely used to solve complicated structures. It was the application of this mathematical method to a wide variety of chemical structures that led the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to name Dr. Hauptman recipient of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. ...more on Wikipedia about "Herbert A.

Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff ( August 30, 1852 - March 1, 1911) was a Dutch physical and organic chemist and the winner of the inaugural Nobel Prize in chemistry. His reasearch on chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, osmotic pressure and crystallography are credited to be their major works. Jacobus helped to found the discipline of physical chemistry as we know it today, he is also considered to be one of the greatest chemists of all time together with French chemists Antoine Lavoisier, Louis Pasteur and german chemist Friedrich Wöhler. ...more on Wikipedia about "Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff"

Sir John Anthony Pople ( October 31, 1925 – March 15, 2004) was a theoretical chemist. Born in Burnham on Sea, Somerset, England, he attended Bristol Grammar School, where an IT room and a scholarship are named after him. He moved to the United States of America in the early 1960s, where he lived the rest of his life, though he retained British citizenship. He received his B. A. (in 1946) and doctorate (in 1951) degrees in mathematics, from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. His thesis was, however, on a topic that would generally be considered chemistry: the bonding structures of water. Pople considered himself more of a mathematician than a chemist, but theoretical chemists consider him one of the most important of their number. ...more on Wikipedia about "John Pople"

Linus Carl Pauling ( February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an American quantum chemist and biochemist, widely regarded as the premier chemist of the twentieth century. Pauling was a pioneer in the application of quantum mechanics to chemistry, and in 1954 was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his work describing the nature of chemical bonds. He also made important contributions to crystal and protein structure determination, and was one of the founders of molecular biology. Pauling is noted as a versatile scholar for his expertise in inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, metallurgy, immunology, anesthesiology, psychology, debate, radioactive decay, and the aftermath of nuclear weapons, in addition to quantum mechanics and molecular biology. Pauling received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962 for his campaign against above-ground nuclear testing, becoming the only person in history to individually receive two Nobel Prizes ( Marie Curie won Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry, but shared the former and won the latter individually; John Bardeen won two Nobel Prizes, but both were in the field of physics, and both were shared; Frederick Sanger won two Nobel Prizes in chemistry, but one was shared). Later in life, he became an advocate for regular consumption of massive doses of Vitamin C, which is still regarded as unorthodox by conventional medicine today but form foundational treatments in orthomolecular medicine. ...more on Wikipedia about "Linus Pauling"

Paul John Flory ( June 19 1910 – September 9 1985) was an American chemist who was known for his prodigious volume of work in the field of polymers, or macromolecules. Flory graduated with a bachelor's degree from Manchester College in 1931 and a Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 1934. His first position was at DuPont with Wallace Carothers. He was a leading pioneer in understanding the behavior of polymers in solution. Among his accomplishments are an original method for computing the probable size of a polymer in good solution, the Flory-Huggins Solution Theory, and the derivation of the Flory exponent, which helps characterize the movement of polymers in solution. He introduced the concept of excluded volume, which causes a polymer chain to be expanded in a good solution, and thus provided important conceptual breakthrough explaining several experimental results of the day. This also led to concept of theta point, condition at which the excluded volume is neutralized and chain reverts to ideal chain characteristics. He correctly identified that the chain dimension in polymer melts would have the size computed for a chain in ideal solution, as excluded volume interactions get screened. ...more on Wikipedia about "Paul Flory"
