Eric N. Jacobsen, a leading chemistry professor, is leaving Harvard for MIT, according to the head of MIT's chemistry department.

Timothy M. Swager, the department head, said on Saturday that Jacobsen formally accepted MIT's offer on Oct. 10 and will be leaving Harvard at the end of the academic year to become the Firmenich professor of chemistry at MIT. Jacobsen, however, told The Crimson in an e-mail that he had yet to make a final decision on where he would work next year. He declined to comment further.

If Jacobsen does move down Mass. Ave to MIT, he will join what Swager called the institute's "dream team" of reaction development researchers.

"We have quite a team and now we have Eric Jacobsen, so we really have in reaction development a team of people unparalleled in the history of chemistry, in my view," Swager said in an interview. The team now includes organic chemists Stephen L. Buchwald, Gregory C. Fu, Rick L. Danheiser, Timothy F. Jamison, and Mohammad Movassaghi, and inorganic chemists Richard R. Schrock, Christopher C. Cummins, and Jonas Peters.

Jacobsen, 47, came to Harvard as a professor in In addition to teaching the introductory organic chemistry course Chemistry 17 for many years, he has become a promin
