His research focused on redox reactions, transition metals and the use of isotopically labeled compounds to follow reactions. He had over 600 publications including one book, and had mentored over 200 students during his career. Taube and his wife Mary had three children, his son Karl is an anthropologist at the University of California Riverside. ==Education== At 12, Taube left his hometown and moved to Regina to attend Luther College where he completed high school.〔 After graduating, Taube stayed at Luther College and worked as laboratory assistant for Paul Liefeld, allowing him to take first year university classes.〔 Taube attended the University of Saskatchewan, receiving his B.Sc. in 1935 and his M.Sc in 1937.〔 His thesis advisor at the University of Saskatchewan was John Spinks.〔 While at the University of Saskatchewan, Taube studied with Gerhard Herzberg, who would be awarded the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He moved to University of California, Berkeley, where he completed his Ph.D studies in 1940.〔 His Ph.D mentor was William Bray.〔 Taube's graduate research focused on the photodecomposition of chlorine dioxide and hydrogen peroxide in solution. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Taube」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
