Robert E. Connick (July 29, 1917 – August 21, 2014) was a professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley.[1]
Life
Connick studied chemistry at Berkeley, receiving his
college of chemistry, vice chancellor,[2] and chair of the academic senate at both Berkeley and the entire University of California
system.
His research led to growth and improvement in inorganic reaction kinetics and mechanisms. He is most known for development of
oxidation-reduction
properties and the existence of many ions. The results showed scientific basis for the various practical separation processes developed during and since World War II.
He was elected to the
National Academy of Sciences
in 1963.
He was a 1968 G.N. Lewis Lecturer and Awardee.[3]
He was a two-time Guggenheim Fellow, in 1948 and 1958.[4] Connick also served as a Counselor for the Save the Redwoods League. Connick died at the age of 97 in 2014.[5]
