But back in Newcastle in those days, we developed some high yield syntheses of compounds, the preparation of which was not well known in the literature, because it was being kept secret for either... confidentiality company reasons or defence reasons. But in our work we, of course, did not have that restriction, and whatever work we did we published.
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.
