Camille Sandorfy (b. 1920) Canadian quantum chemist. He is a member of the International Academy of Quantum Molecular Science. He is well known for both his works in spectroscopy and theoretical chemistry. He is a pioneer in the molecular orbital calculations on saturated hydrocarbons and excited aromatic molecules. He performed extensive works in both vibrational and electronic spectroscopy. He investigated in particular the effect of hydrogen bonding on the anharmonicity of vibrations. He made also applications of biological interest. He received his Bachelor of Science in 1943 and Ph.D. in chemistry in 1946 from the University of Szeged.
