个人简介
John Berry was born in Atlanta, GA in September 1977, and grew up in Newport News, Virginia. He attended Virginia Tech from 1996 – 2000 where he obtained two degrees: a BA in music theory and composition, and a BS in chemistry. John then pursued graduate education in chemistry, attending Texas A&M University from 2000 – 2004 where he worked as an NSF Graduate Research Fellow in the research group of F. Albert Cotton. His graduate work involved synthetic and experimental studies to elucidate the electronic structure and metal-metal bonding in linear trinuclear molecules that serve as models for molecular wires. John then did postdoctoral work in Germany with support from a fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. From 2004 – 2006, he worked with Karl Wieghardt at the Max Planck Institute for Bioinorganic Chemistry in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, on new electrochemical and photochemical routes to unstable high-valent iron intermediates. In 2006, John joined the Department of Chemistry at the University of Wisconsin – Madison as an Assistant Professor, where he has established a vibrant research program tackling fundamental problems in coordination chemistry and bonding. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012. John still writes music in his spare time, and sometimes has occasion to perform on either the violin, viola, or piano.

研究领域
Research Interests: The scientific approach of my research group is to discover new chemistry by systematic investigations of interesting and difficult problems of electronic structure. Projects typically combine one or more of the following themes: synthesis, spectroscopy, computations, photochemistry, catalysis, cryogenic techniques, magnetism, mechanisms, crystallography, bonding, and reactivity. A major goal is for my coworkers to become proficient in several of these areas while gaining an appreciation of all of the other areas.
Current research in my group falls into three main project areas. In the first, we are investigating electronic effects in heterometallic compounds containing paramagnetic transition metals. We have discovered simple yet powerful synthetic methods that allow for systematic metal atom substitution and study of a well-defined series of heterometallic compounds to elucidate trends in structure and bonding. In the second project area, we are isolating and studying reactive intermediates that have metal-metal and metal-ligand multiple bonds in a linear M=M=L structure. Such intermediates are relevant to widely used catalytic transformations including cyclopropanation, aziridination, and C–H functionalization, but have not been subjected to rigorous study. In a third research area that is beginning to develop we are exploring the possibility that a new oxidation state of sulfur and its heavier congeners, namely the S23– or ‘subsulfide’ level, can be stabilized in transition metal complexes. Establishing this new intermediate oxidation state puts forth a new paradigm for how chalcogen-chalcogen bonds are made and broken, processes that are very important in biological, geological, and synthetic chemical systems. The themes that bind our research projects together are:
1. Explaining Bonding Phenomena that are Novel, Ambiguous, or Poorly Understood. Projects begin in my lab when we identify systems that present fundamental problems in chemical bonding. By elucidation of electronic structure, we seek to gain insights that help us to explain unusual physical or chemical properties of these systems.
2. Relating Electronic Structure to Reactivity. We study systems in which we hypothesize that chemical reactivity can be understood in the context of electronic structure. Establishing interrelations between electronic structure and reactivity is important to us because it allows predictions to be made about new reactions.
3. Correlating Experimental Measurements with Computational Results. Modern computational methods provide significant insights into electronic structure, but computations must be validated and tested by their ability to predict key experimental observables. A strong synergy between experiment and computation is indispensable to our research.
