William Jackson Pope, FRS[1] (31 October 1870 – 17 October 1939) was an English chemist. He studied crystallography under H. A. Miers, and most of his earlier research focussed on measuring crystallographic data with a goniometer. These studies had an important influence on the development of his chemical work, for they enhanced the natural faculty of visualising spatial relationships. This drew him into the field of stereochemistry where his most notable achievements were made. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in June 1902,[2] and obtained the chair of chemistry at Cambridge University in 1908.
