Chakravorty, Animesh (Author)
This article sketches the germination of Prafulla Chandra's interest in chemistry in Presidency College, its progressive growth in Edinburgh University and finally its culmination in his research laboratories in Calcutta (Presidency College and later in the University College of Science). From those of his contributions which have stood the test of time, a selected few like the ones on nitrites, on mercury complexes, on sulfur ligand related chemistry, on platinum metal chemistry and more will be highlighted. Certain difficulties and mistakes on the way will be noted. Mention will be made of his school of chemistry and of his diversified activity profile.
