个人简介

Biographical Sketch of Michael G. Richmond Dr. Michael G. Richmond was born in Glen Cove, New York in January, 1957 and attended the State University of New York College at Fredonia, from which he received a B.S. degree in Chemistry in 1980. Dr. Richmond next pursued his graduate studies at the University of Alabama under the joint supervision of Drs. Charles U. Pittman, Jr., and David C. Baker. Dr. Richmond received his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry in December, 1983. After serving as a postdoctoral fellow with Dr. Jay K. Kochi at Indiana University/University of Houston during the period of September, 1983, to August, 1984, Dr. Richmond accepted an appointment as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Houston. This position was held from September, 1984, to August, 1986, and carried with it the responsibility for the direction of the Kochi laboratory, including complete control over the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and supervision of all graduate and postdoctoral personnel working for Dr. Jay K. Kochi. Dr. Richmond accepted the position of Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Texas in 1986. In September of 1992, Dr. Richmond was promoted to Associate Professor of Chemistry at the University of North Texas, followed by promotion to Professor of Chemistry in 1998. Dr. Richmond has been engaged in research involving platinum group metals for the last several years; the majority of this research has dealt with the syntheses and ligand activation studies of mono- and polynuclear organometallic compounds. The redox properties, dynamic ligand behavior, and catalytic reactivity of platinum group metal complexes have also been explored. Currently, high-pressure catalytic investigations of selected platinum metal cluster compounds are being studied by in situ Cylindrical Internal Reflectance (CIR) Spectroscopy in order to accurately assess the nature of the active catalyst in hydroformylation and hydrogenation reactions. Dr. Richmond’s current research interests are centered on the study of P-C bond cleavage on metal clusters, carbon dioxide reduction, hydrocarbon activation, organometallic redox reactions, and photocatalytic processes employing transition metal complexes. Currently, Dr. Richmond is the author of over 200 publications and two chapters in the monograph series “Catalysis of Organic Reactions.” From 1988 through 1993, Dr. Richmond served as the author for the Annual Survey of Ruthenium and Osmium Chemistry for the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry at the invitiation of Prof. R. Bruce King. From 1994 to 2003, Dr. Richmond has served as the author for the Annual Review of Organometallic Cluster Chemistry for Coordination Chemical Reviews. Presently, Dr. Richmond serves on the editorial advisory boards of the journals Organometallics, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, and the Open Journal of Inorganic Chemistry.

研究领域

Organic

Students in the Richmond group will be involved in the study of organometallic chemistry, with a focus on the synthesis and characterization of new organometallic compounds. The reactivity (stoichiometric and catalytic) of all new organometallic compounds with Greenhouse gases and common industrial feedstock molecules is routinely investigated.
