SUMMARY:The Distinguished Summer Lectures in Inorganic Chemistry
DESCRIPTION:Professor James M. Mayer University of Washington Title: Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer I: Hydrogen Atom Transfer to Marcus Theory Location: Tech L211 Hosted by Professor Mercouri Kanatzidis Evanston James M. Mayer was born in New York City in 1958.  His enthusiasm for inorganic chemistry started in high school\, which led him to start inorganic research with Professor Edwin Abbott at Hunder College (CUNY) between high school and college.  Dr. Mayer was an undergraduate at Harvard University from 1975-78\, where he did research with Professor William Klemperer on the visible spectrum of diffuse clouds in interstellar space.  He received his Ph.D. in 1982 from the California Institute of Technology for work with Professor John Bercaw on organometallic chemistry of tantalum hydride complexes.  He then spent two years as a visiting scientist in the Central Research Department of the DuPont Company.  In 1974\, Dr. Mayer was appointed to the faculty at the University of Washington where he is now Alvin L. and Verla R. Kwiram Professor of Chemistry.  Among other awards\, he has been named as a Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation\, as a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science\, and as a Fellow of the American Chemical Society.  He has served as chair of the American Chemical Society Division of Inorganic Chemistry and currently serves as an associate editor of the journal\, Inorganic Chemistry.   Dr. Mayer’s research interests span coordination chemistry\, catalysis and electrocatalysis\, bioinorganic chemistry\, organometallic chemistry\, physical organic chemistry\, electron transfer\, and reactions of nanoscale materials.  His focus is on discovering and understanding new reaction chemistry\, particularly redox reactions that involve the making and breaking of chemical bonds and that are relevant to biological\, industrial\, energy\, and environmental processes.
