乐天堂app下载 Nyholm Prize for Inorganic Chemistry was founded in 1974. Between 1974 and 2020, this was awarded to an individual for outstanding contributions to inorganic chemistry.
乐天堂app下载 prize was established to commemorate 乐天堂app下载 life and work of Sir Ronald Nyholm, president of 乐天堂app下载 Chemical Society from 1968 to 1970. Sir Nyholm, 1917-1971, was born in New South Wales, Australia and his work centred on coordination (metal complex) chemistry, particular on arsines as ligands. Alongside his research activities in this area, he was also an ardent campaigner for 乐天堂app下载 improvement of science education. He undertook roles as a chemistry teacher and lecturer in various institutions in both 乐天堂app下载 UK and Australia. Whilst involved with 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry, he played a large and leading role in 乐天堂app下载 launch of RSC journal Education in Chemistry.
乐天堂app下载 Prize was formerly known as 乐天堂app下载 Sir Ronald Nyholm Lectureship and was awarded by 乐天堂app下载 Education and Dalton Division in alternate years. 乐天堂app下载 Nyholm Prize for Education continues to reward outstanding achievement in 乐天堂app下载 field of education.
In 2020, as part of a series of changes resulting from an independent review of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry's recognition programmes, this prize merged with 乐天堂app下载 Ludwig Mond Award to form 乐天堂app下载 Mond-Nyholm Prize for Inorganic Chemistry.
