 Norrish, Ronald George Wreyford
Norrish did his undergraduate and doctoral work at the University of Cambridge, served as research fellow at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and directed the university's physical chemistry department for 28 years.
Norrish and Porter, who worked together between 1949 and 1965, used the new technique of flash photolysis to study the intermediate stages involved in extremely rapid chemical reactions.
Norrish became a professor emeritus in 1963, though he continued to work with individual students and as an industrial consultant.

Ronald George Wreyford Norrish was a British chemist who shared the 1967 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with fellow Englishman Sir George Porter and German Manfred Eigen for their studies of very fast chemical reactions.
Norrish showed that the rate was in fact proportional to the square root of the light intensity.
The society was incorporated as a non-profit, nonstock corporation of the state of New York, for "the advancement of chemistry and the promotion of chemical research." It was predated by the Chemical Society of Philadelphia, which was the first such society in the world, and was founded in 1792 by James Woodhouse.

 Biography of George Porter
George Porter was born in the West Riding of Yorkshire on the 6th December 1920.
The training which he received in electronics and pulse techniques was to prove useful later in suggesting new approaches to chemical problems.
He began the construction of an apparatus for this purpose in the early summer of 1947 and, together with Norrish, applied this to the study of gaseous free radicals and to combustion.

Norrish was born in Cambridge and educated at the Perse School, 1908-1915, and Emmanuel College, Cambridge where he read for the Natural Sciences Tripos, 1919-1921, specialising in chemistry for Part II.
He was elected FRS in 1936 (Davy Medal 1958, Bakerian Lecture 1966) and in 1967 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry (with Manfred Eigen and George Porter) for their studies of extremely fast chemical reactions, effected by disturbing the equilibrium by means of very short pulses of energy.
Norrish's school chemistry set is in the Science Museum, London.
