Robert Bergman ’63, professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, will receive the 2003 James Flack Norris Award in Physical Organic Chemistry, sponsored by the Northeastern Section of the American Chemical Society. Bergman studies the synthesis of new organic, inorganic and organometallic transition metal compounds. He and his colleagues use these materials to develop and study new chemical reactions and the reactive intermediates involved in those transformations.
