The Oxford Chemistry Primers are a series of short texts providing accounts of a range of essential topics in chemistry and chemical engineering written for undergraduate study. The first primer Organic Synthesis: The Roles of Boron and Silicon was published by Oxford University Press in 1991. [ 1 ]
In 2003, he was appointed a Junior Research Fellow at Homerton College, Cambridge, and then took up an EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship at Oxford in 2007, moving over to Jesus College two years later as a lecturer, and subsequently a fellow and tutor. [1] [2] In 2016, the university awarded him with the title Professor of Organic Chemistry. [3]
Mann's research is concerned with the chemical synthesis, characterization and emergence of complex forms of organized matter. His research activities include biomineralization, [12] [13] biomimetic materials chemistry, [14] synthesis and self-assembly of nanoscale objects, [15] functional nanomaterials, [16] complexity and emergent behaviour in hybrid nanostructures, [17] and solvent-free ...
His scientific interests were in analytical chemistry, especially optical measurements. He worked mainly in a laboratory at Christ Church in Oxford. He had teaching posts at Keble College (1880–90), and Balliol College and Trinity College (1886–1900). He worked at the Balliol-Trinity Laboratories with Sir Harold Hartley and others. [4]
In 1965 he was made a Lecturer and he was also a Royal Society Senior Research Fellow in Oxford 1979–86. In 1989 he was appointed Professor of Inorganic Chemistry and Head of the Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory at Oxford and Fellow of St Catherine's College, Oxford. In 2004 he became an Emeritus Research Professor.
The son of the Reverend Marcus Knight, later Dean of Exeter, he read chemistry at Keble College, Oxford and, after serving in the military, read a DPhil in the history of Victorian chemistry under the supervision of Alistair Cameron Crombie, Oxford University's Professor of the History of Science.

Born in Lucknow, India to Rev. Joseph and Sarah Jane (Lauck) Parson, Alfred received his BS in chemistry from Oxford University.Between 1913 and 1915 he was a visiting graduate student at Harvard and the University of California, Berkeley, where coincidentally Gilbert N. Lewis was working as the chair of the department of chemistry.
He was the recipient of the 1993 Herman Skolnik Award of the American Chemical Society, [3] of the 1997 Distinguished Lecturer Award of the New Jersey Chapter of the American Society for Information Science, [4] of the 2001 Tony Kent Strix award of the Institute of Information Scientists, [5] of the 2002 Lynch Award of the Chemical Structure Association Trust [6] and of the 2005 Award for ...
