-His research led to growth and improvement in inorganic reaction kinetics and mechanisms. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?pid=172361830

-He is most known for development of nuclear magnetic resonance methods for determining rates of water exchange reactions - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?pid=172361830#sthash.6E9dbaFS.dpuf

-In 1952 he married Frances Jane Spieth (1923-2009) and together they raised 6 children. - See more at: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/sfgate/obituary.aspx?pid=172361830#sthash.6E9dbaFS.dpuf

- He researched the fundamental chemical properties of plutonium, during a time when only minute amounts were accessible, and he devised its separation techniques. Connick’s studies revealed plutonium’s complicated oxidation-reduction properties and the existence of its many ions. The results provided scientific basis for the various practical separation processes developed during and since World War II. http://www.nasonline.org/publications/biographical-memoirs/memoir-pdfs/connick-robert.pdf

-He was also endowed an undergraduate scholarship and research fund under his and his wife's name from James Tong, who was Professor Emeritus of Ohio State from 1957-1997.

-His work and achievements were instrumental in further educating and influencing 3 generations of medical professionals, chemists, biochemists, biological physicians, and engineers. http://academictree.org/chemistry/tree.php?pid=714&fontsize=1&pnodecount=4&cnodecount=2
