Life and work
Tobin Marks, was born as the son of Eli Sidney and Miriam Marks, nee Heller. He received in 1966 his Bachelor of Science at the University of Maryland, College Park MD in 1970 from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for Ph.D. He then moved to Northwestern University where he was from 1970 to 1974 Assistant Professor, 1974-1978 Associate Professor, 1978-1986 Associate Professor and from 1986 to 1999 Charles -E -. & Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry was. Since 1987 he is a professor of materials science and engineering and since 1999 also Vladimir N. Ipatieff Professor of Catalytic Chemistry at Northwestern University.
Mark works in the field of organometallic chemistry with transition metals, lanthanides and actinides. Additional research areas are homogeneous catalysis, especially the Ziegler -Natta polymerization, nuclear magnetic resonance, metalloproteins, solid state chemistry, organic light-emitting diodes, nonlinear optics, complex chemistry with tetrahydro borates and macrocycles, laser-induced chemical and isotopic separation, and organometallic chemical vapor deposition. He has published over 900 scientific papers and holds over 80 patents.
On 19 May 1985 he married Indrani Mukharji.
