- Abstract:
- Coulson (1910-1974) was a theoretical chemist and physicist who developed a molecular orbital theory and the concept of partial valency. Franklin had worked with him during her time at BCURA, and asked him to review her first submission to Nature, the eminent British scientific journal. The "letter," titled "On the Influence of the Bonding Electrons on the Scattering of X-Rays by Carbon," was published in January 1950. It was Coulson who suggested that Franklin look for a position at King's College if she wanted to work in the new field of biophysics.
