I would like to credit especially the fundamental contributions of Ron Gillespie to strong acid (superacid) chemistry and also to recall his generous help while I was still working at the Dow Laboratories in Canada. 1 reestablished contact with him during this time. We first met in the winter of 1956 at University College in London, where he worked with Christopher Ingold. Subsequently, he moved to McMaster... 

This will be described as the del Castillo-Katz scheme, as it was first applied to receptor action by J. del Castillo and B. Katz (University College London) in 1957 (see also Section 1.4.3). 

I also wish to thank the Bodleian Library at Oxford University for permission to do research in the Frederick Soddy Papers in their Modem Manuscripts collections, and the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford University, for permission to work with Soddy s lecture notes and papers in their archives. I thank University College London, Special Collections, for permission to do research in the Sir William Ramsay Papers. I also thank the special collections librarians at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, for access to H. G. Wells s papers, and the University of Texas at Austin Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center for access to Edith Sitwell s papers. Frances Soar of the Geographical Association, the administrators of the Frederick Soddy Tmst, and Maxwell Wright and Gwen Huntley of Bunkers Solicitors generously helped me in my efforts to track down an estate for Frederick Soddy s unpublished writings. And I wish to thank Mark Smithells and the Smithells family in New Zealand for permission to quote from Arthur Smithells s unpublished manuscript in the Frederick Soddy Papers. 

Male chemists usually relied upon women for support, the best example being Frederick Donnan, Professor of Chemistry at University College, London (UCL), from 1913 until 1937.4 It was Donnan s two sisters, Leonora (Nora) and Jane, who were indispensable to him. Nora kept house for Donnan for 38 years while Jane was his Secretary at UCL, in later years also being responsible for the ICI Research Fellows there. 

Some women chemists and biochemists were assigned to more traditional women s roles. The bacterial biochemist, Marjory Stephenson (Chap. 8), spent the war as a nurse.55 She left her research position at University College, London, to join the British Red Cross in France and then Salonika. In Salonika, she was in charge of a nurses convalescent home and also had responsibilities for invalid diets. She was mentioned in dispatches in 1917 and was awarded an M.B.E. for her war work.
