CONTRIBUTIONS

With S.L. Martin. Studies on haematoxylin and haematein, the colouring principles of logwood. I. Absorption spectra of pure compounds in various solvents and a spectrophotometric method of analysis for haematoxylin and haematein. J. Soc. Dyers Colour. 75 (11):513-7, 1959

Developed a method for measuring the absorption spectra of both compounds in aqueous solutions under conditions which minimize the risk of oxidation.
