John Arnold

John Arnold is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on synthetic inorganic chemistry, with an emphasis on the synthesis and study of new molecular inorganic and organometallic compounds of the d-, p-, and f-block elements. His work involves the preparation and characterization of compounds exhibiting novel reactivity and catalytic behavior, particularly in the activation of small molecules such as H2, N2, O2, CO2, and N2O. He utilizes techniques including multinuclear NMR, X-ray crystallography, EPR, and electrochemistry. For more information, visit the Arnold Group website.

John Arnold is a researcher at the University of California, Berkeley, specializing in chemistry with a focus on organometallic, inorganic, actinide, and lanthanide compounds. His work explores the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of metal complexes, particularly those involving selenolate, tellurolate, and amidinate ligands. Arnold's research includes the development of novel catalytic systems for hydroamination and hydroarylation reactions, as well as the study of metal-metal bonding in lanthanide and uranium complexes. His contributions also extend to environmental chemistry, such as uranium extraction from seawater and trace metal detection in water. His research has implications for sustainable chemistry and materials science.
