Life
Ronnie Bell was born at Willowfield, Court House Road, in Maidenhead, Berkshire, England, to Edwin Alfred Bell, headmaster of Gordon Road School in Maidenhead and Beatrice Annie Ash. He attended his father's school from 1913 to 1918 then Maidenhead County Boys' School until 1924. He then won a place at Balliol College, Oxford University, studying Chemistry.
Bell worked in the laboratory of the Danish physical chemist Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted from 1928 to 1932. Later, he was particularly active at Oxford with his research group between 1945 and 1967. He was a Fellow of Balliol College, Oxford (where he had previously been a student) from 1933 to 1967, when he was appointed an honorary fellow on his move to become Professor of Chemistry at the newly founded University of Stirling in Scotland. Bell could be called by the hybrid term, a "physical organic chemist", since he investigated the use of physicochemical methods to discover the mechanisms of organic reactions. He was a colleague of Edmund Bowen.
In 1936, Bell was awarded the Meldola Medal and Prize of the Royal Institute of Chemistry and in 1941 he was Tilden Lecturer of the Chemical Society. In 1944, Bell was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1956 he was elected President of the Faraday Society. He moved from Stirling to Leeds in 1976 to take up a lecturing role at Leeds University which he held until 1990.
Bell married Margery Mary West in 1931. He died in Kingston Nursing Home in Leeds in 1996.
Publications
Bell was the author of The Proton in Chemistry dealing with acid-base reactions. The second edition (1973) was reviewed as giving a comprehensive coverage of proton transfer-equilibrium, chemical kinetics, catalysis, structural and solvent effects, and reaction mechanism, all within 300 pages.
