The lure of organic chemistry was strong, however, and the investigation evolved into a study of the double salts of selenium dichloride and tetrachioride with the aliphatic amines and thence into a study of the perbromides and periodides of aliphatic amines, especially tertiary amines, in connection with which the interesting observation was made that the amine hydrobromides form perbromides by taking on a single atom of bromine. At the opening of the academic year in the fall of 1895 the new Ph.D.

He also taught advanced organic and inorganic chemistry, qualitative analysis, physical chemistry, food analysis—in fact, chemistry of all sorts except quantitative analysis. Norris's sabbatical leave from Simmons was during the academic year 1910-1911.

The scientific work of James Flack Norris, insofar as may be judged by his seventy-odd scientific papers, was broadly interesting and important, but hardly had the impact of the work of some of his contemporaries in America, such as Gomberg, Stieglitz, and Nef, because he sometimes reached the wrong conclusions. Thus, at almost the beginning of his MIT career, Norris became engaged in, and lost, rather a vitriolic argument with Gomberg about the nature of triphenylmethyl.

. The research on reactivity was extended gradually to include thermal decompositions of malonic acids, and certain parallels were noted between the effect of R as an or substituent in influencing the carboxylation of malonic acid and the effect of R in ROH in changing reactivity toward p-nitrobenzoyl chloride.
