Rudolph Marcus won the 1992 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The basis for the prize is Marcus’ fundamental work on electron transfer reactions, which are among the most important of chemical processes. He was notified about the prize while attending the 182nd ECS Meeting in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Extra special because Marcus is a Canadian.
Now at Caltech the Marcus Group is studying theories of chemical reactions with the primary focus on formulating theories to explain new and sometimes unexpected experimental results, as well as improving the understanding of earlier work, and exploring the relation between phenomena in different fields.
