Career Trajectory
Bio
Professor Greenwood’s research was characterised by its exceptional distinction. His early research centred on solid-state chemistry and his widely-translated Ionic Crystals, Lattice Defects and Nonstoichiometry had a lasting impact. He was among the first to apply the Mössbauer effect to study chemical problems including, on behalf of NASA, the first such study of lunar rocks and his book (with T C Gibb) on Mössbauer Spectroscopy was for many years the definitive monograph. Later, he worked on the chemistry of boron hydrides. Major contributions to this field include the development of the concept of ‘boranes as ligands’, the incorporation of many metals as vertices in polyhedral borane clusters and the study of interconversion reactions during the thermolysis of volatile boron hydrides. These studies displayed his originality and mastery of the wide range of experimental techniques necessary to investigate these very complex compounds.
Throughout his career, Norman Greenwood also attached very great importance to undergraduate education; this was manifest not least in his remarkable annual introductory lecture to new students. He wrote several influential monographs for students and the publication of the monumental Chemistry of the Elements, of which he was the instigator and senior author, marked the climax of his contributions to chemical education, breaking new ground as a university textbook. It became one of the world’s best-selling texts in inorganic chemistry and was translated into several languages.
