UCL - a landmark in organic chemistry

University College London (UCL) has been awarded its second Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) National Chemical Landmark for the contributions made by Sir Christopher Ingold in the development of physical organic chemistry during his 40-year career at the university's chemistry department. The award recognises Ingold, who from 1930-70 'pioneered our understanding of the electronic basis of structure, mechanism and reactivity in organic chemistry, which is fundamental to modern-day chemistry'.
