Description

PROGRESS IN INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

The cutting edge of scientific reporting

 

Progress in Inorganic Chemistry continues its tradition of being the most respected avenue for exchanging innovative research. This series provides inorganic chemists and materials scientists with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Volume 59 continues to report recent advances with a significant, up-to-date selection of contributions by internationally-recognized researchers.

 

“This series is distinguished not only by its scope and breadth, but also by the depth and quality of the reviews.”

                                                —Journal of the American Chemical Society

 

“[This series] has won a deservedly honored place on the book shelf of the chemist attempting to keep afloat in the torrent of original papers on inorganic chemistry.”

                                      --Chemistry in Britain

About the Author

Kenneth D. Karlin, PhD, is the Ira Remsen Professor of Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University. He received his PhD from Columbia University. Dr. Karlin’s bioinorganic research focuses on coordination chemistry relevant to biological and environmental processes, involving copper or heme (porphyrin-iron) complexes. Dr. Karlin’s main approach involves synthetic modeling, i.e. biomimetic chemistry. He is the winner of the prestigous F. Albert Cotton Award in Synthetic Inorganic Chemistry and the Sierra Nevada Distinguished Chemist Award, both awarded in 2009.
