context_page_description: Eluvathingal Devassy Jemmis or E. D. Jemmis is a Professor of theoretical chemistry at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He was the founding Director of Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Thiruvananthapuram. His primary area of research is applied theoretical chemistry with emphasis on structure, bonding and reactivity, across the periodic table of the elements. Apart from many of his contributions to applied theoretical chemistry, an equivalent of the structural chemistry of carbon, as exemplified by the Huckel 4n+2 Rule, benzenoid aromatics and graphite, and tetrahedral carbon and diamond, is brought in the structural chemistry of boron by the Jemmis mno rules which relates polyhedral and macropolyhedral boranes to allotropes of boron and boron-rich solids. He has been awarded Padma Shri in Science and Engineering category by the Government of India.
