John A. Osborn

John A. Osborn (1939–2000) was an inorganic chemist who made many contributions to organometallic chemistry. Obsorn received his PhD under the mentorship of Geoffrey Wilkinson.^[1] During that degree Osborn contributed to the development of Wilkinson's catalyst.^[2] His thesis studies ranged widely.^[3]

In 1967, he took a faculty position at Harvard University. At Harvard, he supervised the PhD theses of Richard Schrock, John Shapley, and Jay Labinger. During this time, the chemistry of [M(diene)(PR₃)₂]⁺ was advanced (M = Rh, Ir), laying the foundation for many subsequent developments.^[4] In 1975, Osborn took a faculty position at the Université Louis-Pasteur in Strasbourg, France, where he further broadened his research.
