Richard R. Schrock (NAS) is Frederick G. Keyes Professor of Chemistry at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He obtained his B.A. in 1967 from the University of California at Riverside and his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1971. In his research he first discovered and then focused on the preparation and properties of high-oxidation-state carbenes (alkylidine complexes). He also con- ducts research on the kinetics and mechanics of high-oxidation-state early-metal organometallic species and polymer synthesis and characterization as well as the synthesis of polymers containing organic or inorganic semiconductors or metal clusters. Dr. Schrock has been associate editor of Organometallics, has received several major awards, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the National Academy of Sciences.
