The Centenary of the Royal Institute of Chemistry was commemorated in 1977 in the issue of four stamps which also included the winners of a Nobel Prize.
To save you getting a crick in your next the topics and the Nobel Prize winners where -
- 8.1/2p Steroids - Conformational Analysis Barton 1969
- 10p Vitamin C - Synthesis W N Howarth 1957
- 11p Starch - Chromatography Martin & Synge 1952
- 13p Salt - Crystallography W H & W L Bragg 1915
I remember studying crystallography and the work of the Braggs in chemistry lectures at St Andrews in the 1950s.
