Russell Stephen Drago (born November 5, 1928) was an American professor of inorganic chemistry.[1] He mentored more than 130 PhD students, authored over a dozen textbooks and four hundred research documents, which have been published in several languages. He filed 17 process patents.[2] and established the Florida Catalysis Conference Foundation, Inc. {{Infobox scientist| name =Russell S.

Drago was born November 5, 1928, in Montague, Massachusetts to Stephen R. Drago and Lillia Mary Margret (Pucci) Drago. In 1950, Drago married Ruth Ann Burrill (January 29, 1929 – November 9, 2013). They remained married for 47 years until his death. They had four children, Patti Kouba (Drago), Steve, Paul, and Robert.[3] CareerIn June, 1950, Drago graduated with a BS degree in Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After he completed his time with the U.S. Air Force, he enrolled at The Ohio State University under the GI bill, completing his Ph.D. degree on December 17, 1954, under Professor Harry Sisler. His thesis was entitled "Studies on the Synthesis of Chloramine and Hydrazine." In 1955, he was hired at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign Department of Chemistry, where he remained until 1982. In 1966, he published the textbook Physical Methods in Inorganic Chemistry.[4] In 1982, he moved to the University of Florida as Graduate Research Professor of Chemistry. Chemistry lineageDrago (Ohio St, 1954) < Sisler (Illinois, 1939) < Audrieth (Cornell, 1926) < Browne (Cornell, 1903) < Dennis (Michigan, 1886) < Hempel (Heidelberg, 1873) < Robert Bunsen (Göttingen, 1830) < Friedrich Stromeyer (Göttingen, 1800) < Louis Nicolas Vauquelin (Paris, 1790) < Antoine François, comte de Fourcroy (Paris, 1780) < Jean Baptiste Michel Bucquet (Paris 1770) and Antoine Lavoisier (Paris, 1764) ContributionsDrago's research covered both the theoretical and practical side of acid-base chemistry. He developed the E and C equation as a quantitative model for acid-base reactions. His group used a variety of physical methods to probe intermolecular interactions and helped pioneer NMR studies of paramagnetic systems. He contributed to the area of catalysis focusing primarily on chemical processes relevant to industrial applications. Work in this field contributed significantly to the understanding of ligand – metal and metal – metal interactions and their influence on the mechanisms, activity, and selectivity of numerous transition metals catalyzed systems. A video interview with Drago is available.[5] Accomplishments
Professor Drago established the Drago Distinguished Professor position at the University of Florida, and an annual Drago Chemistry Award at Ithaca College. PhD theses supervised
Visiting professors and post-doctorals
