| Title | Orgel, Leslie Ewart: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Description | Certificate of Election |
| Citation | Distinguished for his contributions to theoretical chemistry, particularly theoretical inorganic chemistry. By applying and extending the theory of crystal fields he has interpreted and correlated a wide range of experimental data, including the thermodynamic and optical properties of transition metal complex ions, the structures of the bis-cyclopentadienyls, the observed stereochemical distortions, magnetic susceptibilities and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of certain complex compounds, the distribution of the cations in the spinels and other problems in solid state physics. He has also contributed to the electronic spectroscopy of organic compounds and to various problems in biophysics. |
