Christopher (Kit) Cummins [1a] studied undergraduate chemistry at Cornell University before completing his PhD in 1993 with R. R. Schrock at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He was then immediately appointed as assistant professor at MIT and promoted to professor in 1996. During his stay in Germany, he will be hosted by M. Scheer at the University of Regensburg. The collaborative research is to involve studies in the manipulation of Group 15 elements using transition-metal complexes. A particular focus is to be the use of the recently discovered AsP 3 molecule in synthetic investigations. [1b] The main areas of interest of Cummins' own research group include reaction design for the manipulation of small elemental, atmospheric, and interstellar molecules (N 2 , N 2 O, NO, NO 2 , CO 2 , CO, H 2 , P 2 , P 4 , As 4 ) by metal complexes, metalligand multiple bonds as related to atom-transfer reactions, and new reactions for next-generation chemical storage of solar energy. Previous honors include becoming an American Academy of Arts and Sciences Fellow (2008) as well as receiving the Raymond and Beverly Sackler Prize in the Physical Sciences (2007) and the American Chemical Society Albert F. Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry (2007).
