Richard John Puddephatt, OC FRSC FCIC[3] was born 1943 in Aylesbury, England.
He has been studying the fundamental chemistry of gold and other precious metals in the development of new materials for potential applications in health care and electronics.
He has elucidated the mechanisms of reactions in many homogenous catalytic processes, foe instance in studies of oxidative addition and reductive elimination with alkylplatinum and alkyl–gold complexes and of skeletal rearrangements of metallacyclobutane complexes, often called the Puddephatt rearrangement.
