Tobin Marks
Tobin Jay Marks (born November 25, 1944 in Washington, DC ) is an American chemist.
Live and act
Tobin Marks was the son of Eli Sidney and Miriam Marks, b. Heller, born. He received in 1966 his Bachelor of Science at the University of Maryland, College Park and his doctorate in 1970 at F. Albert Cotton at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with the work Organometallic molecules with nonrigid structures for Ph.D. He then moved to Northwestern University , where he was Assistant Professor from 1970 to 1974, Associate Professor from 1974 to 1978, Full Professor from 1978 to 1986, and Charles E. & Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry from 1986 to 1999 . Since 1987 he has been Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and, since 1999, Vladimir N. Ipatieff Professor of Catalytic Chemistry at Northwestern University.
Marks works in the field of organometallic chemistry with transition metals , lanthanides and actinides . Further research areas are homogeneous catalysis , in particular Ziegler-Natta polymerization , nuclear magnetic resonance , metalloproteins , solid-state chemistry , organic light-emitting diodes , non-linear optics , complex chemistry with tetrahydroborates and macrocycles , laser-induced chemistry and isotope separation as well as organometallic chemical vapor deposition . He has published over 900 papers and holds over 80 patents .
On May 19, 1985, he married Indrani Mukharji.
