John Dombrowski Roberts (June 8, 1918 – October 29, 2016) was an American chemist . He made contributions to the integration of physical chemistry , spectroscopy , and organic chemistry for the understanding of chemical reaction rates. Another characteristic of Roberts' work was the early use of NMR, focusing on the concept of spin coupling .[1]
Roberts in 1967
Roberts received both a B.A. (1941) and Ph.D. (1944) from the University of California, Los Angeles , working under Professor William Gould Young .[2] California Institute of Technology , including division chairman of chemistry and chemical engineering from 1963 to 1968, dean of the faculty and provost from 1980 to 1983 and Institute Professor of chemistry, emeritus (1988–2016) in the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering.[3] Dorothy Semenow , to Caltech when he moved from MIT .[4] [5] DuPont Central Research (1950–2008)[6] [3]
He published his autobiography in 1990, The Right Place at the Right Time .[7] [8] [9] [10]
Awards and honors [ edit ]
Roberts was elected a Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1952.[11] National Academy of Sciences in 1956 at 38 years old.[12] American Philosophical Society in 1974.[13] The Explorers Club . In 1984, Roberts received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement ,[14] Priestley Medal in 1987,[15] National Medal of Science in 1990,[16] Glenn T. Seaborg Medal in 1991,[17] NAS Award in Chemical Sciences in 1999,[18] Nakanishi Prize in 2001,[19] NAS Award for Chemistry in Service to Society in 2009,[20] Linus Pauling Legacy Award in 2006[21] American Institute of Chemists Gold Medal in 2013.[6]
Roberts received honorary degrees from the University of Munich (1962), Temple University (1964) and the University of Notre Dame .[3]
In 1998 he was named by Chemical & Engineering News as one of the 75 most influential chemists of the last 75 years.[22]
