==History==
Founded in 1702 by the university as simply 'Professor of Chemistry', it was retitled as the Professorship of [[Organic Chemistry]] in 1943, and in 1991 was renamed after a benefaction from the oil company [[BP|British Petroleum]]. In recognition of a donation from [[Yusuf Hamied]], in 2018 the professorship was renamed the Yusuf Hamied 1702 Chair of Chemistry.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ch.cam.ac.uk/news/giving-new-name-our-oldest-chair |title=Giving a new name to our oldest Chair |website=Department of Chemistry |publisher=University of Cambridge |date=7 November 2018 |access-date=18 July 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |title=Approval of Graces submitted to the Regent House on 7 November 2018 |url=http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/reporter/2018-19/weekly/6527/section7.shtml#heading2-13 |journal=[[Cambridge University Reporter]] |issue=6527 |date=21 November 2018 |access-date=5 September 2019}}</ref>
