Noel Bayliss

Noel Stanley Bayliss is distinguished for his investigations into the spectra of halogens and organic compounds. He has studied solvent effects on such spectra, including work on the quantum mechanical theory of continuous absorption and its temperature variation. He has developed an electrostatic interaction theory of the solvent-induced red shift in electronic and infra-red spectra. He is an independent originator of the "free electron" treatment of conjugated compounds. During World War II he directed and published work on the chemistry of alunite, and on phase rule and pilot plant studies connected with the production of potassium sulphate, potassium carbonate and alumina.
