R. Stephen Berry 1931–2020
R. Stephen Berry 1931–2020 A Biographical Memoir by Stuart A. Rice and Joshua Jortner ©2021 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. RICHARD STEPHEN BERRY April 9, 1931–July 26, 2020 Elected to the NAS, 1980 We have prepared this memoir to bear witness to the life of R. Stephen (Steve) Berry, with emphasis on the view that a memorial is about reminding ourselves and others of more than his many and varied contributions to science; it is also to remind us of his personal warmth and freely offered friendship, of his generous support for all of us in a variety of situations, and of his loyalty to his friends and the institutions he served. The record of an individ- ual’s accomplishment is commonly taken to define his/ her legacy. Using that protocol, creative scientists are fortunate in that their contributions are visible, and those contributions endure, or not, on their own merits. Steve Berry was one of the most broadly ranging and influen- tial scientists in the world. His seminal experimental and By Stuart A. Rice theoretical contributions are distinguished by a keen eye and Joshua Jortner for new concepts and innovative and practical analyses. These contributions, which are remarkable in both scope and significance, have helped to shape our scientific perception. They have had, and continue to have, great influence on the development of chemistry, biophysics materials science, the science and technology related to the use, production, and conservation of energy, the societal applications of science and technology, and national and international science policy. -

Gradient Bundle Analysis: a Full Topological Approach to Chemical Bonding
GRADIENT BUNDLE ANALYSIS: A FULL TOPOLOGICAL APPROACH TO CHEMICAL BONDING by Amanda Morgenstern A thesis submitted to the Faculty and the Board of Trustees of the Colorado School of Mines in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Applied Chemistry). Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Amanda Morgenstern Signed: Dr. Mark E. Eberhart Thesis Advisor Golden, Colorado Date Signed: Dr. David Wu Professor and Head Department of Chemistry and Geochemistry ii ABSTRACT The “chemical bond” is a central concept in molecular sciences, but there is no consensus as to what a bond actually is. Therefore, a variety of bonding models have been developed, each defining the structure of molecules in a di↵erent manner with the goal of explaining and predicting chemical properties. While many twentieth century bonding models provide useful information for a variety of chemical systems, these models are sometimes less insightful for more lofty goals such as designing metalloenzymes. The design process of novel catalysts could be improved if more predictive and accurate models of chemical bonding are created. One recently developed bonding model based on the topology of the electron charge density is the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM). QTAIM defines bonding interactions as one-dimensional ridges of electron density, ⇢(r), which are known as bond paths. As with any bonding model, there are instances where bond paths do not adequately describe properties of interest, such as in the analysis of histone deacetylase. This thesis describes the initial development of gradient bundle analysis (GBA), a chem- ical bonding model that creates a higher resolution picture of chemical interactions within the charge density framework.
