Robert Morris, a professor in the department of chemistry in the Faculty of Arts & Science, has received the American Chemical Society (ACS)'s Award in Organometallic Chemistry.

The award, which is among ACS's , celebrates recent advancements in research in organometallic chemistry. 

In its award citation, ACS said Morris has "significantly advanced our understanding of transition metal hydride and dihydrogen complexes and the role they play in catalytic organometallic reactions."

Morris said he has been overwhelmed by the support of colleagues who have congratulated him on this achievement. “It is very generous of the American Chemical Society to share its National Awards with international scientists," he said.

"I also have to thank the fantastic students – both graduate and undergraduate – and postdoctoral fellows who have done research in my lab over 44 years, and NSERC for funding this fundamental research.”
