Tobin Jay Marks (born November 25, 1944) is an
materials chemistry, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, molecule-based photonic materials, superconductivity, metal-organic chemical vapor deposition
, and biological aspects of transition metal chemistry.
Marks received his
F. A. Cotton
. He came to Northwestern University in the fall of 1970.
The Marks Group
Historically the Marks group has been organized into four teams (A-D), reflecting the historical strengths and the needs of emerging technologies:
- A-team; Organometallics/Catalysis
- B-team: Molecular Photonics
- C-team: Transparent Oxides
- D-team: Molecular Electronics
Marks is known for his ability to tie his efforts to practical problems. Work in organometallics/catalysis (A-team) has traditionally focused on two main areas: Group IV mediated polymerizations and f-element mediated hydroelementation.[1] [2] His extensive work in polymerization catalysts and determination of mechanistic traits that allow for optimization, have made these materials and processes industrially relevant.
