John I. Brauman
John Isaiah Brauman (born September 7, 1937 in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania ) is an American chemist at Stanford University in Stanford , California .
Life
Brauman earned a bachelor's degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge , Massachusetts in 1959 and a Ph.D. in 1963. with Andrew Streitwieser at the University of California, Berkeley . As a postdoctoral fellow , Brauman worked with Saul Winstein at the University of California, Los Angeles . He then became a member of the faculty at Stanford University in Stanford , California , where he is now (as of 2011) JG Jackson and CJ Wood Professor of Chemistry.
Act
Brauman's work deals with structure and reactivity . He investigated ion reactions in the gas phase , acid-base reactions , the mechanisms of proton transfer , nucleophilic substitution and addition-elimination reactions . His work allowed important conclusions to be drawn about the shape of the potential surfaces and the dynamics of the reactions on these surfaces. Brauman contributed to the electron photodetachment spectroscopy of negative ions, the measurement of electron affinity , the investigation of dipolar electron states and the infrared activation of ions. He has studied the mechanisms of organic reactions in solution and gas phase, as well as organometallic reactions and the behavior of biomimetic organometallic compounds.
Among the numerous memberships in national and scientific advisory bodies and advisory boards are a long-standing editorship for the renowned scientific journal Science and membership in the advisory board (council) of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States.
