“Jim A. Ibers was a pioneer in structural coordination and inorganic chemistry. He is recognized for bringing the science and art of X-ray crystallography to inorganic chemistry, which made the structural determination of metal complexes possible, encouraged the synthesis of new compounds, and led to powerful synthetic methodologies. Jim’s first job as a chemist was at Shell Development Company; later, he moved to Brookhaven National Laboratory. In 1965, Jim joined Northwestern University as a full professor, where he spent the entirety of his academic career.”—Teri W. Odom, colleague
