He received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees at California Institute of Technology. His thesis, awarded in 1954, was done under the direction of Verner F. Schomoker and James H. Sturdivant. After graduation, Ibers accepted a staff scientist position at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Starting in 1965 until his retirement, Ibers was a professor of chemistry at Northwestern University. His research includes many aspects of organometallic,[1] bioinorganic,[2] and solid state chemistry,[3] almost always focused on the structural aspects. Notable graduate students have included Thomas Albrecht-Schönzart, Richard Eisenberg, Douglas Keszler, and Ken Raymond

For his contributions, Ibers has been recognized by the American Chemical Society Award in Inorganic Chemistry and election to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
