Alexander Williamson Bücher
Alexander Williamson war ein englischer Chemiker, der vor allem für seine wegweisende Arbeit zur Ether-Synthese bekannt ist. Er untersuchte die Beziehungen zwischen Ethern und Alkoholen, betrachtete sie als Analoga von Wasser und führte den „Wassertypus“ als grundlegendes Konzept zur Klassifizierung chemischer Verbindungen ein. Seine Forschungen zum Austausch von Atomen innerhalb von Molekülen nahmen die moderne Theorie der Ionen-Dissoziation vorweg. Sein Einfluss reichte über die Chemie hinaus, da er wichtige japanische Studenten betreute, die zur Modernisierung Japans beitrugen.
