Why Is Brian Thrush Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Brian Arthur Thrush was a British physical chemist. He was an Emeritus Professor of Physical Chemistry at the University of Cambridge and a Life Fellow of Emmanuel College. Research Thrush studied the atom and free radical reactions in the gas phase of spectroscopic methods. He made the first comprehensive examination of the absorption spectra of free radicals in homogeneous explosions using flash photolysis. He discovered the absorption spectra of several free radicals , and he determined the ionisation potential of the tropyl radical.
