Biographical Note
Chemist LeRoy Eyring was born to Edward Christian Eyring (1868-1957) and Emma (Romney) Eyring (1884-1957) in Pima, Arizona on December 26, 1919. Emma Eyring was the second of Edward Eyring's two plural wives; Edward's first wife was Emma's sister, Caroline Cottam (Romney) Eyring (1874-1954). Leroy Eyring was the sixteenth of the family's seventeen children, including Rouge (1893–1987), Camilla (Eyring) Kimball (1894–1987), Mary (1898-1979), Henry (1901–1981), Edward Christian (1903–1983), Catherine (Eyring) Edwards (1905–2006), Anthony Ivins (1905-1989), Caroline (Eyring) Miner (1907–1999), Ruth (Eyring) Williams (1908–2003), Isabel (Eyring) Ellsworth (1909–1975), Joseph C. (1910–1996), Maurine (Eyring) Boyd (1912–2007), Rose (Eyring) Calder (1912–2009), Ethel (Eyring) Taylor (1916–2009), Jeneveve (Eyring) Layton (1917–2016), and Margaret (1922–1926).
Eyring followed his oldest brother, Henry, into chemistry and earned his B.S. from the University of Arizona in 1943. He began his Ph.D. studies at the University of California at Berkeley but put his education on hold in 1944 to enlist in the U.S. Navy, where he served as a radar officer on the U.S.S. Schroeder until 1946. After being discharged, he returned to Berkeley, where he earned his Ph.D. in 1949. Eyring began his career at the University of Iowa in the same year and went on to earn National Science Foundation, Guggenheim, and Fulbright-Hays research grants that allowed him to work in Europe and Australia between 1958 and 1960. Upon his return to the United States, he accepted a position at Arizona State University, where he served as Chairman of the Chemistry Department beginning in 1961. During his tenure, Eyring built the department into a nationally recognized program and established the Center for Solid State Science (now called the LeRoy Eyring Center for Solid State Science). He was named a Regents' Professor of Chemistry in 1988 and published extensively. Eyring died in Arizona on November 28, 2005.
LeRoy Eyring married Ruth LaReal Patton (1923-) on July 21, 1941 and the couple had four children, Michelle (Eyring) Dow, Patricia (Eyring) Castalia, Cynthia (1951-2006), and Gregory.
