戴維獎章

提示：此條目的主題不是丹·戴維獎。

戴維獎章（英語：Davy Medal）也叫戴維獎，是英國皇家學會設立的一個獎項，以表彰那些在任一化學分支下有卓越的、重要的新發現的人^[1][2]。戴維獎章是以無機化學之父漢弗里·戴維的名字命名的，與獎章一同頒發的還有1000英鎊獎金。1877年，羅拔·威廉·本生和古斯塔夫·基爾荷甫因對光譜分析有重要發現和研究而獲得第一枚獎章。與皇家學會設立的其他獎章（如休斯獎章）不同的是，戴維獎章每年頒發一次，而且從一開始就未間斷過。^[1]

第一枚戴維獎章頒發給了羅拔·威廉·本生（左）和古斯塔夫·基爾荷甫（右），以表彰他們對光譜分析的發現和研究。

戴維獎章除了在第一屆頒給了兩個人外，在1882年也同時頒給了德米特里·伊凡諾域治·門捷列夫和尤利烏茲·洛塔爾·邁耶爾（原子量的周期關係的發現），還有1883年馬塞蘭·貝特洛和尤利烏茲·湯遜（熱化學）、1893年雅各斯·亨里克斯·范托夫和約瑟夫·阿希勒·勒·拜爾（提出碳原子不對稱理論及其用於解釋旋光碳原子化合物的構造） 、1903年皮埃爾·居里和瑪麗·居里（對鐳的研究）、1968年約翰·康福思和佐治·約瑟夫·波普雅克（共同闡明聚類異戊二烯和類固醇的生物合成路線）。^[3][4]
