Don Tilley

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

T. Don Tilley (born November 22, 1954 in Norman, Oklahoma ) is a chemistry professor at the University of California, Berkeley .

Career

After completing his bachelor's degree in 1977 at the University of Texas , he received his doctorate in 1982 from the University of California, Berkeley on organolanthanide compounds in the group of Professor Richard A. Andersen. This was followed by postdoc stays in the working groups of Robert H. Grubbs and John E. Bercaw at the California Institute of Technology and with Luigi Venanzi and Piero Pino at ETH Zurich . In the meantime he dealt extensively with the chemistry of the ( pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ) ruthenium fragment ([Cp * Ru]). In 1983 he began his independent research career at UC San Diego , where he was promoted to associate professor in 1988 and professor in 1990. In 1994 he moved to the University of California, Berkeley as Professor and Faculty Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), where he still works today.

Throughout his career, he has published over 430 scientific articles on a wide range of topics in organometallic and inorganic chemistry, as well as in materials science . Since 2005, Tilley has also been the North American co-editor of Chemical Communications .

research

One focus of Tilley's research is the synthesis , structure of inorganic and organometallic systems and their reactivity . He also deals with homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis , materials chemistry , organic semiconductors , supramolecular chemistry and the conversion of solar energy .
