For inorganic chemistry we had JS Anderson, who again, you're one of Anderson's... one of Emeléus' successors. Emeléus and Anderson was the big name in inorganic chemistry before the war and during the war, and I was with the Anderson part of it for inorganic chemistry.
Norman Greenwood (1925-2012) was born in Australia and graduated from Melbourne University before going to Cambridge. His wide-ranging research in inorganic and structural chemistry made major advances in the chemistry of boron hydrides and other main-group element compounds. He also pioneered the application of Mössbauer spectroscopy to problems in chemistry. He was a prolific writer and inspirational lecturer on chemical and educational themes, and held numerous visiting professorships throughout the world.
