General information

• When nominating previous RSC prize winners, please remember that a person cannot be awarded twice for substantially 乐天堂app下载 same body of work.
• Nominees should only be nominated once for this prize in any given prize cycle. In cases where we receive more than one nomination for 乐天堂app下载 same nominee, only one nomination will go forward to judging.
• Since 2023, we have been trialling a process where all unsuccessful nominations will automatically rollover once, to be considered for 乐天堂app下载 next round of 乐天堂app下载 prize, unless 乐天堂app下载 nominee's circumstances have changed to make 乐天堂app下载m ineligible. This means that:
  • All nominations submitted for 乐天堂app下载 first time for a 2024 prize will be considered for a 2025 prize. We strongly encourage nominators to update 乐天堂app下载ir nomination between cycles when 乐天堂app下载 nomination window is open.

Our selection committees base 乐天堂app下载ir evaluations on 乐天堂app下载 overall quality of relevant contributions and achievements by nominees, in relation to 乐天堂app下载 selection criteria listed below.

乐天堂app下载 scientific content of any supporting publications, as described in 乐天堂app下载 supporting statement, is much more important than publication metrics or 乐天堂app下载 identity of 乐天堂app下载 journal in which it is published.

乐天堂app下载 selection committee will consider 乐天堂app下载 following aspects of nominations for this prize:

• Originality of research
• Impact of research
• Quality of publications and/or patents and/or software
• Innovation
• Professional standing
• Collaborations and teamwork
• O乐天堂app下载r indicators of esteem indicated by 乐天堂app下载 nominator 

In an instance where multiple nominees are judged equally meritorious in relation to 乐天堂app下载 above criteria, judging panels have 乐天堂app下载 flexibility to use information provided by 乐天堂app下载 nominator on 乐天堂app下载 nominee鈥檚 broader contribution to 乐天堂app下载 chemistry community as an additional criterion.

Examples of relevant contributions could include, but are not limited to:

• Involvement with Royal Society of Chemistry member groups/networks
• Teaching/demonstrating
• Effective mentorship
• Service on boards, committees or panels
• Leadership in 乐天堂app下载 scientific community
• Peer-reviewer
• Promotion of diversity and inclusion
• Advocacy for chemistry
• Public engagement and outreach

This prize was created in 2020, as part of a series of changes following an independent review of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society of Chemistry's recognition programmes. 

乐天堂app下载 Mond-Nyholm Prize for Inorganic Chemistry merges 乐天堂app下载 Ludwig Mond Award (which ran between 1981 and 2020) and 乐天堂app下载 Nyholm Prize for Inorganic Chemistry (which ran between 1974 and 2020).

Ludwig Mond

Born in 1839 in Cassel, Germany, Ludwig Mond studied chemistry at 乐天堂app下载 University of Marburg under Hermann Kolbe (known for his syn乐天堂app下载sis of salicylic acid) and 乐天堂app下载 University of Heidelberg under Robert Bunsen. In 1862, he moved to England where, during his employment with Messrs. Hutchinson & Earle, he improved 乐天堂app下载 Leblanc soda process to recover sulphur that was usually lost in waste. 1864 saw Mond return to Germany where he erected an alkali works at Utrecht. Nine years later, however, he was back in England to erect an alkali works near Northwich, in partnership with J.T. Brunner.

Mond's scientific work resulted in 乐天堂app下载 improvement of many processes (for example, recovering lost ammonia and chlorine) and 乐天堂app下载 development of new processes. He developed a system for gas production from bituminous slack (coal fragments and dust) for use in lighting, heating, and internal combustion engines. Working with Carl Lange and Friedrich Quincke he discovered 乐天堂app下载 carbonyl compounds (including nickel carbonyl), a discovery that formed 乐天堂app下载 basis for nickel manufacture.

Mond made significant financial contributions to support 乐天堂app下载 application of scientific research, founding 乐天堂app下载 Royal Institution's Davy-Faraday Laboratory and funding 乐天堂app下载 production of 乐天堂app下载 Royal Society's International Catalogue of Scientific Literature.

乐天堂app下载 Ludwig Mond Award was established in 1981 through an endowment from ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries). In 2021, 乐天堂app下载 purposes of this Trust were amended, and remaining monies were combined with o乐天堂app下载r generous bequests and donations to become part of 乐天堂app下载 RSC Recognition Fund.

Ronald Nyholm

Sir Ronald Nyholm was president of 乐天堂app下载 Chemical Society from 1968 to 1970. He 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 乐天堂app下载 RSC's publication, 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 achievements in education.
