Frederick George Mann

Frederick George Mann FRS (29 June 1897 – 29 March 1982) was a British organic chemist.

He completed his doctoral studies at Downing College, Cambridge under Sir William Pope, graduating in 1923. He continued at Downing as an assistant lecturer until 1930, when he was appointed to a lectureship at Trinity College. He spent his entire academic career at Cambridge, retiring in 1964.^[1]

Mann's research spanned a variety of topics, many at the interface between organic and inorganic chemistry, including investigations of aliphatic polyamines, phosphines, arsines and their complexes; heterocyclic compounds of phosphorus and arsenic and their metal complexes; polycyclic nitrogen compounds; the structure and optical properties of transition metal complexes; stereochemistry, and cyanine dyes.^[2][3]

He won the Royal Society of Chemistry's Tilden Prize in 1943, and was elected to the Royal Society in 1947.^[1][2]
