Lidia Vallarino (1930–2017) was an inorganic chemist who was chemistry lecturer at the University of Milan. In the 1950s and 19960s, she was a rare example of a well-published female active in coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry.[1][2]
Vallarino received her PhD in 1954 from the University of Milan under the supervision of L. Malatesta for work on isocyanide complexes.[3] She later took a position at ICI Laboratories under Joseph Chatt, where she worked on diene complexes of the platinum group metals.[4] As an independent scientist, she worked on both organorhodium chemistry[5] and macrocyclic complexes of the lanthanides.[6] She retired as professor of chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University.
