Alexander Crum Brown FRSE FRS (26 March 1838 28 October 1922) was a Scottish organic chemist. Born in Edinburgh, he studied at the Royal High School, followed by one year at Mill Hill School in London. He studied at the universities of Edinburgh, London (becoming the first candidate on whom the Doctorate of Science of London University was conferred), Heidelberg, Marburg and Leipzig, before returning to take a teaching post at the University of Edinburgh in 1863. In 1865 he became a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, and was appointed Professor of Chemistry at Edinburgh in 1869, holding the Chair until his retirement in 1908. The Chair of Chemistry at the university still bears his name. Crum Brown's pioneering work was in the development of a system of representing chemical compounds in diagrammatic form. In 1864 he began to draw pictures of molecules, in which he enclosed the symbols for atoms in circles, and used broken lines to connect the atoms together in a way thatsatisfied each atom's valence. The results of his influential work were published in The Journal of the Chemical Society of London in 1865.
