The 1983 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

Abstract

Henry Taube has been selected to receive the 1983 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his pioneering work on the mechanisms of inorganic oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions. Taube was born in Neudorf, Saskatchewan, on 30 November 1915, and he received B.S. (1935) and M.S. (1937) degrees at the University in Saskatoon. He moved to Berkeley to do his doctoral research (Ph.D., 1940) with W. C. Bray, and he became a U.S. citizen in 1941. He has held academic appointments at Cornell (1941 to 1946), Chicago (1946 to 1961), and Stanford (since 1962) and is now the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor of Chemistry at Stanford.
