Harry Evans Hallam (d. 1977) was a chemist and academic at the University College of Swansea.
Hallam spent his early years in East Africa. He attended Ardwyn Grammar School in Aberystwyth before going on to serve in the RAF. [1] He studied chemistry at the University College of Aberystwyth and then undertook a University of London PhD by correspondence while working at the University of Khartoum. [1]
In 1955 Hallam was appointed to the staff of the Department of Chemistry at University College of Swansea becoming Senior Lecturer in 1964 and Reader in 1970. [2] In 1963, Hallam took a year's sabbatical and became an adviser in physical chemistry at the new University of Nigeria at Nsukka. [3] He had active international collaborations and was presented with a medal by the University of Helsinki in 1973 for his outstanding service and was also a visiting professor at the University of Marburg in 1975. [1] Hallam was known for his work in infrared spectroscopy of the hydrogen bond and as one of the founders of matrix isolation spectroscopy. He passed away unexpectedly on 14 May 1977. [4]
Hallam was married to Joan and they had a son called David. He was an active member of the Clyne Chapel, Blackpill. [1]
In his memory, an endowment for an annual lecture to take a "particular account would be taken of Harry’s interest in spectroscopy" was created in 1977 with an appeal made for donations in the Journal of Molecular Structure. The lectureship is administered by the South Wales West Local Section of the Royal Society of Chemistry. [4]
The Bischler–Möhlau indole synthesis, also often referred to as the Bischler indole synthesis, is a chemical reaction that forms a 2-aryl-indole from an α-bromo-acetophenone and excess aniline; it is named after August Bischler and Richard Möhlau .
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy or surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a surface-sensitive technique that enhances Raman scattering by molecules adsorbed on rough metal surfaces or by nanostructures such as plasmonic-magnetic silica nanotubes. The enhancement factor can be as much as 1010 to 1011, which means the technique may detect single molecules.
In a chemical analysis, the internal standard method involves adding the same amount of a chemical substance to each sample and calibration solution. The internal standard responds proportionally to changes in the analyte and provides a similar, but not identical, measurement signal. It must also be absent from the sample matrix to ensure there is no other source of the internal standard present. Taking the ratio of analyte signal to internal standard signal and plotting it against the analyte concentrations in the calibration solutions will result in a calibration curve. The calibration curve can then be used to calculate the analyte concentration in an unknown sample.

Tellurium dichloride is a chloride of tellurium with the chemical formula TeCl2.
Cedric Herbert Hassall was a New Zealand chemist.
In organic chemistry, methenium is a cation with the formula CH+
3. It can be viewed as a methylene radical with an added proton, or as a methyl radical with one electron removed. It is a carbocation and an enium ion, making it the simplest of the carbenium ions.
Geoffrey Edward Coates was a British organometallic chemist and academic. He developed the basics for new materials in plastics, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals.
Titanium nitrate is the inorganic compound with formula Ti(NO3)4. It is a colorless, diamagnetic solid that sublimes readily. It is an unusual example of a volatile binary transition metal nitrate. Ill defined species called titanium nitrate are produced upon dissolution of titanium or its oxides in nitric acid.
James Robert DurrantFRSC FLSW is a British photochemist. He is a professor of photochemistry at Imperial College London and Sêr Cymru Solar Professor at Swansea University. He serves as director of the centre for plastic electronics (CPE).
The Castner Gold Medal on Industrial Electrochemistry is an biennial award given by the Electrochemical Technology Group of Society of Chemical Industry (SCI) to an authority on applied electrochemistry or electrochemical engineering connected to industrial research. The award is named in honor of Hamilton Castner, a pioneer in the field of industrial electrochemistry, who patented in 1892 the mercury cell for the chloralkali process. Castner was an early member of SCI.
The Longstaff Prize is given to a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry who has done the most to advance the science of chemistry. First awarded in 1881, it was originally conferred by the Chemical Society and known as the Longstaff Medal.
Rachel Claire EvansFLSW is a Welsh chemist based at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge. She works on photoactive polymer-hybrid materials for solar devices, including organic photovoltaics and stimuli-responsive membranes.
Anthony Roy West FRSE, FRSC, FInstP, FIMMM is a British chemist and materials scientist, and Professor of Electroceramics and Solid State Chemistry at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Sheffield.
Kennedy J. P. Orton was a British chemist. Initially he studied medicine at St. Thomas' Hospital, but there he became interested in chemistry and moved to St. John's College, Cambridge. He then obtained a Ph.D. summa cum laude in Heidelberg under Karl von Auwers, before working for a year with Sir William Ramsey at University College, London. He was then lecturer and demonstrator of Chemistry at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, before in 1903 being appointed Professor of Chemistry at University College of North Wales, Bangor, where he headed the department until his death. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1921.
Charles Rugeley Bury was an English physical chemist who proposed an early model of the atom with the arrangement of electrons, which explained their chemical properties, alongside the more dominant model of Niels Bohr. In some early papers, the model was called the "Bohr-Bury Atom". He introduced the word transition to describe the elements now known as transition metals or transition elements.
Joseph E. Coates, OBE was a British physical chemist and academic. He was the first Professor of chemistry and head of the department of Swansea University.
