Robert Angelici

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Robert Joe Angelici (born July 29, 1937 in Rochester (Minnesota) ) is an American chemist who deals with organometallic chemistry .

Angelici studied chemistry at St. Olaf College with a bachelor's degree in 1959 and received her doctorate in 1962 from Northwestern University under Fred Basolo . As a post-doctoral student he was a Fellow of the National Science Foundation and in 1964 with Ernst Otto Fischer in Munich. He is a professor at Iowa State University , where he has been since 1963 (then as an instructor), headed the chemistry department from 1977 to 1981, and is a Distinguished Professor.

He deals with the organometallic chemistry of transition metals (synthesis, characterization, mechanistic studies, catalysis). Most recently (2017) he has been working on gold as a catalyst in oxidation reactions and the electrochemical reduction of carbon dioxide.

He was chairman of the Organometallic Chemistry Section in the Inorganic Chemistry Department of the American Chemical Society . He was a Sloan Research Fellow from 1970 to 1972 and a Royal Society Guest Research Fellow in England in 1987.
