Ronald Percy "Ronnie" Bell FRS〔 FRSC FRSE (24 November 1907 – 9 January 1996) was a leading British physical chemist who worked in the Physical Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Oxford, England. ==Life== Ronnie Bell was born at ''Willowfield'', Court House Road, in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, to Edwin Alfred Bell, headmaster of Gordon Road School in Maidenhead and Beatrice Annie Ash.〔 He attended his father's school from 1913 to 1918 then Maidenhead County Boys' School until 1924. He then won a place at Balliol College, Oxford University, studying Chemistry. Bell worked in the laboratory of the Danish physical chemist Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted from 1928 to 1932. Later, he was particularly active at Oxford with his research group between 1945 and 1967. He was a Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford (where he had previously been a student) from 1933 to 1967, when he was appointed an honorary fellow on his move to become Professor of Chemistry at the newly founded University of Stirling in Scotland. Bell could be called by the hybrid term, a "physical organic chemist", since he investigated the use of physicochemical methods to discover the mechanisms of organic reactions. He was a colleague of Edmund Bowen. In 1936, Bell was awarded the Meldola Medal and Prize of the Royal Institute of Chemistry and in 1941 he was Tilden Lecturer of the Chemical Society.〔 In 1944, Bell was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society〔 and in 1956 he was elected President of the Faraday Society. He moved from Stirling to Leeds in 1976 to take up a lecturing role at Leeds University which he held until 1990. Bell married Margery Mary West in 1931. He died in Kingston Nursing Home in Leeds in 1996. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ronnie Bell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
