Professional Experience:

          Dr. Christe has 49 years of experience in the synthesis of novel high energy oxidizers and rocket propellants and has managed and scientifically directed many government funded research contracts. He has achieved the first syntheses of many spectacular compounds, such       as ClF₃O, ClF₃O₂, halogen perchlorates, OIF₄OF, OsF₄O₂, and ions, such as NF₄⁺, ClF₆⁺, ClF₆^-, ClO₂F₂^-, ClO₂F₂⁺, ClF₂O⁺, ClF₄O^-, NF₃⁺, NF₂O⁺, and NH₂F₂⁺.  He has developed solid propellant fluorine gas generators for chemical laser weapon systems and has discovered      the first purely chemical synthesis of elemental fluorine.  He has developed a synthesis for anhydrous tetramethylammonium fluoride and has pioneered the use of this compound as a source of “naked” fluoride ions, which has led to a renaissance of high coordination number chemistry. Among the novel compounds, which he prepared in this manner, are the XeF₅^- and IF₅^2- anions, which are the first known examples of pentagonal planar species.

            He has a very broad background in general chemistry. For example , he has prepared the first stable oxonium, OH₃⁺, and sulfonium, SH₃⁺, salts, has discovered a new process for metal joining using hydrazine as a gaseous flux, has developed new methods for the introduction of fluorine into aromatic rings, and has pioneered graphite based ion exchange resins for the use with powerful oxidizers in anhydrous HF solutions. In addition, he has made major contributions to the chemistry of fluorocarbons, inorganic high polymers, chemical laser technology, and methane oxychlorination. More recently, he and his coworkers have achieved major breakthroughs in polynitrogen chemistry. They have discovered with the pentanitrogen cation, N₅⁺ the first stable new polynitrogen species in more than 100 years. Subsequently, they demonstrated the existence of the cyclo-N₅^- anion, the inorganic analogue of the cyclopentadienide anion. They have also prepared and characterized the N₃NOF⁺ and N₇O⁺ cations. In addition, they have synthesized and characterized a large number of novel polyazido compounds and have successfully combined species such as N₅⁺ and P(N₃)₆^- or B(N₃)₄^- into a single compound. Presently, they are working on high-oxygen and high-nitrogen carriers as green and higher performing replacements for the toxic and carcinogenic hydrazine monopropellants and the halogen containing and toxic solid propellant ingredient ammonium perchlorate.

Professional Societies and Awards:

            Dr. Christe is a member of the American Chemical Society and the German Chemical Society and has received numerous awards, including the Alfred Stock Preis of the German Chemical Society (2006), the ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry (2003), the Prix Moissan (2000), the ACS Award for Creative Work in Fluorine Chemistry (1986), and the NASA’s Apollo Achievement Award (1969). He has been elected to the European Academy of Sciences (Liege) in 2009 and the European Academy of Sciences and Arts (Salzburg) in 2010.

Publications and Patents:

            Dr. Christe has 345 publications in refereed journals and 63 patents to his credit. In addition, he has worldwide lectured on the results of his research.
