Biography

Who is Eyring Henry?

Mexican-born American theoretical chemist whose primary contribution was in the study of chemical reaction rates and intermediates. A prolific writer, he authored more than 600 scientific articles, ten scientific books, and a few books on the subject of science and religion. He received the Wolf Prize in Chemistry in 1980 and the National Medal of Science in 1966 for developing the Absolute Rate Theory or Transition state theory of chemical reactions, one of the most important developments of 20th-century chemistry. Several other chemists later received the Nobel Prize for work based on it, and his failure to receive the Nobel was a matter of surprise to many. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences apparently did not understand Eyrings theory until it was too late to award him the Nobel; the academy awarded him the Berzelius Medal in 1977 as partial compensation. Sterling M. McMurrin believed Eyring should have received the Nobel Prize but was not awarded it because of his religion. Eyring was elected president of the American Chemical Society in 1963 and the Association for the Advancement of Science in 1965. He died on 26 December 1981, aged 80, in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Henry B. Eyring (1901–1981)

Overview

Henry B. Eyring was an American theoretical chemist renowned for pioneering transition-state theory in chemical kinetics. He was born on February 20, 1901, in Colonia Juárez, near Nuevo Casas Grandes, Chihuahua, Mexico. He passed away in 1981. His work established a rigorous framework for understanding how chemical reactions proceed through activated complexes and how temperature influences reaction rates.

Key Contributions

  • Formulated transition-state theory, providing a quantitative description of how reactions overcome energy barriers.
  • Developed the Eyring equation for rate constants, linking thermodynamics and kinetics in a way that is still widely used in chemistry.
  • Helped shape the field of rate processes and influenced subsequent theoretical and computational approaches in chemical kinetics.

Biographical Highlights

  • Birthplace: Colonia Juárez, Chihuahua, Mexico (near Nuevo Casas Grandes).
  • Birthdate: February 20, 1901.
  • Death: 1981.
  • Legacy: His theories remain foundational in physical chemistry and are taught in chemistry curricula worldwide.
