Christopher Spencer Foote (June 5, 1935 – June 13, 2005) was a professor of chemistry at UCLA and an expert in reactive oxygen species, in particular, singlet oxygen. [1] He published over 250 research articles and has an h-index of 67. [2] He was also known for his textbook Organic Chemistry (with Brown and Iverson). [3] [4]
The American Chemical Society gave him their Baekeland award in 1975, named him a Cope Scholar in 1994, and gave him the Tolman Award in 1995. In 2000 an international symposium in honor of his 65th birthday was held in Hawaii. [5] The Christopher S. Foote Chair of chemistry at UCLA, currently held by Neil Garg, is named after him.
