Prof Emil Clement Jungfleisch FRSE MIF (1839-1916) was a French biochemist and pharmacist. He studied molecular dissymmetry.
He was born in Paris on 21 December 1839. He studied at the Ecole Superieure de Pharmacie in Paris. He gained a BSc in Sciences in 1866. In 1869 he began assisting at his alma mater in Paris and in 1876 was made Professor of Organic Chemistry. In 1908 he succeeded Pierre Eugene Marcellin Berthelot as Professor of Chemistry at the College of France.
In 1880 he was elected a member of the National Academy of Medicine and a member of the Academy of Sciences in 1909. In 1913 he was elected an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. [1]
He died on 24 April 1916. He is buried in the 25th Division of Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris.
In 1910 he was sculpted in profile by Paul Richer. A copy of the plaque created is held at the Carnavalet Museum.
Thomas Graham was a British chemist known for his pioneering work in dialysis and the diffusion of gases. He is regarded as one of the founders of colloid chemistry.
Sir James Dewar was a British chemist and physicist. He is best known for his invention of the vacuum flask, which he used in conjunction with research into the liquefaction of gases. He also studied atomic and molecular spectroscopy, working in these fields for more than 25 years.
Prof Louis Nicolas Vauquelin FRS(For) HFRSE was a French pharmacist and chemist. He was the discoverer of both chromium and beryllium.
Jean Baptiste André Dumas was a French chemist, best known for his works on organic analysis and synthesis, as well as the determination of atomic weights and molecular weights by measuring vapor densities. He also developed a method for the analysis of nitrogen in compounds.
Sir Derek Harold Richard Barton was an English organic chemist and Nobel Prize laureate for 1969.
Thomas Thomson was a Scottish chemist and mineralogist whose writings contributed to the early spread of Dalton's atomic theory. His scientific accomplishments include the invention of the saccharometer and he gave silicon its current name. He served as president of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow.
Heinrich Wilhelm Dove was a Prussian physicist and meteorologist.
Sir James Fraser Stoddart is a British-American chemist who is Board of Trustees Professor of Chemistry and head of the Stoddart Mechanostereochemistry Group in the Department of Chemistry at Northwestern University in the United States. He works in the area of supramolecular chemistry and nanotechnology. Stoddart has developed highly efficient syntheses of mechanically-interlocked molecular architectures such as molecular Borromean rings, catenanes and rotaxanes utilising molecular recognition and molecular self-assembly processes. He has demonstrated that these topologies can be employed as molecular switches. His group has even applied these structures in the fabrication of nanoelectronic devices and nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS). His efforts have been recognized by numerous awards including the 2007 King Faisal International Prize in Science. He shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with Ben Feringa and Jean-Pierre Sauvage in 2016 for the design and synthesis of molecular machines.
Sir David Orme Masson KBE FRS FRSE LLD was a scientist born in England who emigrated to Australia to become Professor of Chemistry at the University of Melbourne. He is known for his work on the explosive compound nitroglycerin.
Prof Alexander Smith FRSE LLD was a Scottish chemist, who spent his working life teaching in the universities of America.
David William Cross MacMillan is a Scottish-born chemist and the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of Chemistry at Princeton University, where he was also the Chair of the Department of Chemistry from 2010 to 2015.
Pierre-Joseph van Beneden FRS FRSE FGS FZS was a Belgian zoologist and paleontologist.
Sir Anthony Kevin Cheetham is a British materials scientist. From 2012 to 2017 he was Vice-President and Treasurer of the Royal Society.
Martin Schröder BSc, PhD, DIC, FRSE, FRSC, MAE is a British inorganic chemist. He is Vice President and Dean for the Faculty of Science and Engineering and Professor of Chemistry in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Manchester since June 2015. He served previously as Executive Dean of the Faculty of Science from 2011 to 2015 and Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Nottingham from 1995 to 2015.
