Gregory S. Girolami[4] is the William H. and Janet G. Lycan Professor of Chemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His research focuses on the synthesis, properties, and reactivity of new inorganic, organometallic, and solid state species. Girolami is also co-founder of a start-up company, Tiptek LLC, which manufactures ultrasharp probe tips for use in scanning tunneling microscopy and for fault diagnosis and testing of integrated circuits.
Education and career
Girolami received his B.S. degrees in chemistry and physics from the University of Texas at Austin and his Ph.D. degree in 1981 from the University of California, Berkeley with Richard A. Andersen. Thereafter, he was a NATO postdoctoral fellow with Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson at Imperial College of Science and Technology, and joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign faculty in 1983. He has served as Head of the Chemistry Department twice, first from 2000 until 2005 and again from 2013 to 2016.
Awards
Girolami has received numerous awards for his research, including the Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, a Sloan Foundation Fellowship, a Dreyfus Teacher-Scholar Award, and a University Scholar Award. He is the author of several popular and well-regarded textbooks, including X-ray Crystallography[5] and Synthesis and Technique in Inorganic Chemistry.[6] He is regularly named to the list of excellent teachers on the University of Illinois campus. He has been elected a Fellow of several academies, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and the American Chemical Society.
Research
Girolami's research primarily involves the synthesis, properties, and reactivity of new inorganic, organometallic, and solid state species. Much of the research in his group relates to one of four areas: mechanistic studies of organometallic reactions such as the activation of saturated alkanes, the chemical vapor deposition of thin films from "designed" molecular precursors, the chemistry of the actinides, and the synthesis of new "molecule-based" magnetic materials
In 1989 Girolami and Morse showed that [Zr(CH
3)
6]2−
was trigonal prismatic as indicated by X-ray crystallography.[7] They accurately predicted that other d0 ML6 species such as [Nb(CH
3)
6]−
, [Ta(CH
3)
6]−
, and W(CH3)6 would also prove to be trigonal prismatic.
