Paddon-Row, Michael Nicholas (1942 - )FAA |
| Organic chemist |
| Born: 18 July 1942 Rochester, Kent, England |
| Michael Nicholas Paddon-Row has been a professor in the School of Chemistry, University of New South Wales since 1991 and Head of the School of Chemistry since 1996. His major area of interest is physical organic chemistry, in which he is exploring the nature of long-range orbital interactions and their relevance to molecular structure and reactivity, particularly to long-range electron transfer and energy transfer processes. These activities require the application of a wide range of techniques, including computational chemistry (mainly ab initio MO methods), organic synthesis and physico-chemico measurements (such as photoelectron spectroscopy and electron transmission spectroscopy). |
