Although Victor Meyer, Werner s most formidable adversary, withdrew his objections to Werner and Hantzsch s theory by the mid-nineties, attacks continued to appear in the literature until as late as 1920 46), After resolutions in 1910 (47, 4 ) and 1923 52), the significance of which was obscured by the possibility of isomerization of the compounds which were resolved, William Hobson Mills, the English stereochemist who is most familiar to inorganic chemists for his unequivocal proof of the square planar configuration for divalent platinum 50), succeeded (with B. C. Saunders) in synthesizing and resolving the optically stable compound ... 

Other chemists whose research included optical activity were William Hobson Mills (1873-1959), Joseph Kenyon (1885-1961), and Bawa Katar Singh (1886-1960). ...
