Awards & Achievements: Creator of the Jemmis mno Rules, a major theoretical framework extending Wade–Mingos rules for understanding polyhedral clusters Internationally recognised authority on boranes and cluster chemistry Fellow of leading Indian science academies Recipient of prestigious national science awards for theoretical chemistry Highly cited researcher with influential publications in chemical bonding theory Served on editorial boards of major chemistry journals
Eluvathingal Devassy Jemmis is one of India’s most influential theoretical chemists, particularly known for his groundbreaking contributions to chemical bonding theory. His work on boranes, metal clusters, and polyhedral systems led to the formulation of the Jemmis mno rules, which generalised and extended existing electron-counting frameworks such as Wade’s rules.
At the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, he has played a central role in building strong theoretical and computational chemistry programs. His research combines deep physical insight with rigorous quantum chemical methods to explain molecular structure, stability, and reactivity.
Beyond research, Prof. Jemmis is widely respected as a mentor and teacher. He has guided numerous doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers, many of whom have gone on to become leaders in academia and research institutions worldwide.
In 2025, Prof. E. D. Jemmis continued active research in theoretical and computational chemistry at IISc.
His work on cluster bonding and molecular structure remains widely cited in contemporary chemical theory research.
He participated in international conferences and workshops focused on chemical bonding, molecular clusters, and theoretical chemistry education.
