Albert L. Allred
Albert Louis Allred (born September 19, 1931 in Mount Airy , North Carolina ) is an American chemist ( inorganic chemistry , electronegativity ).
Allred studied chemistry at the University of North Carolina with a bachelor's degree in 1953 and at Harvard University with a master's degree in 1955 and a doctorate in 1957. In 1956 he became an instructor, 1958 assistant professor and 1969 professor at the College of Arts and Sciences of Northwestern University . 1980 to 1986 he was chairman of the chemistry department. In 1992 he became Acting Vice President for Research and Dean of the Graduate School.
In 1987 he was visiting scholar at Cambridge University , in 1965 Honorary Research Associate at University College London and in 1967 at the University of Rome. From 1963 to 1965 he was a Sloan Research Fellow . He has been a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science since 1981 .
Allred introduced the Allred-Rochow scale of electronegativity with Eugene G. Rochow in 1958 . He also dealt with synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry and electrochemistry.
He has been married to Nancy Willis since 1958 and has three children.
