For the past 13 years Edward Whalley has headed a laboratory devoted to Physical Chemistry at high pressures. This laboratory is now well known throughout the world. Whalley's work has dealt with the structures of products formed at high pressures such as poly and methyl vinyl acetate, poly aldehydes, poly carbon disulphide and high pressure ices; rates of chemical reactions as a function of pressure and the use of the data obtained to explain organic reaction mechanisms; compressibilities of liquids, an extensive study of the p.v.t. properties of water and the design of high pressure equipment. His scientific work has invariably been first rate.
