| Description | Citation typed |
| Citation | Distinguished for his work on physical chemistry, especially on catalysts, photochemistry, colloid chemistry and the mechanism of chemical change. He has also done important work on the applications of physical chemistry to biological problems. His work is recorded in over a hundred papers, mostly published in the journals of the Royal Society, the Chemical Society and the Faraday Society. He has also written a number of valuable reports and books; of the latter, those on 'Catalysis in Theory and Practise' (with H S Taylor) and on 'Surface Chemistry' call for special mention as standard works on subjects which are now in course of rapid development. |
