W. Heinlen Hall (June 19, 1910 – November 22, 2006) was an American chemist, best known for his work on the isotopes of oxygen.
He was born on June 19, 1910, in Cairo, West Virginia, to Andrew Brown and Jeanette Hall (née Heinlen). He went to high school in McComb, Ohio, graduating in 1928, and then studied chemistry at Muskingham College, New Concord, Ohio.[1]
He received his Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 1939 but, by this time, he had already been appointed professor of chemistry at Bowling Green State University, Ohio (from 1936). He remained at Bowling Green until his retirement in 1976.[1]
The chemistry department at Bowling Green State University created the W. Heinlen Hall Lectureship in his honor in 1975. This is awarded annually, with the laureate giving a week-long series of lectures at the university.[2]
