LONG CITATION
Professor Morris is internationally known for his outstanding contributions to the field of organometallic chemistry, and more specifically, the chemistry of transition metal hydrides, dihydrogen complexes and hydrogenation catalysts. He is known for his discovery of the first dihydrogen complexes of the iron group metals, the discovery of a new type of hydrogen bond, and useful catalytic processes that involve these phenomena. He has published over 140 highly cited articles and book chapters in the area and has lectured widely.
