Malcolm Harold Chisholm (15 October 1945 – 20 November 2015) was a British inorganic chemist who worked mainly in North America, a Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and Distinguished University Professor of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Ohio State University[1] who contributed to the synthesis and structural chemistry of transition metal complexes.[2]
Malcolm Harold Chisholm was born on 15 October 1945 in Bombay, British India, where his parents were based. Six months after his birth, Chisholm's family moved back to the United Kingdom to the family's home in Inverness. At the age of 3, his family then moved to southern England where he obtained his early education. He later went to Queen Mary College and received a BSc in 1966 and a PhD in Inorganic Chemistry in 1969 whilst working under the direction of Donald C.
