Professor of Chemistry
Martin Ackermann joined the Oberlin faculty in 1966. He received the
B.S. in chemistry from Carnegie
Mellon University in 1963 and the Ph.D. in chemistry from the
University of
California at Berkeley in 1966. He currently teachs
general chemistry,
inorganic chemistry,
advanced inorganic chemistry, and the
synthesis laboratory. His research
interests are in two areas. One area involves the synthesis and
characterization of transition-metal carbonyl complexes of
nitrogen-chelating ligands with good pi acceptor ability. Some of the
ligands that are being investigated are
The second area of research interest concerns the reaction of
h3-propargyl/allenyl complexes
of platinum, [(PPh3)2Pt( h3-CH2CCPh)]+
with nucleophiles.
