Progress in Inorganic Chemistry

This series provides inorganic chemists and materials scientists with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Volume 58 continues to report recent advances with a significant, up–to–date selection of contributions by internationally–recognized researchers. The chapters of this volume are devoted to the following topics: • Tris(dithiolene) Chemistry: A Golden Jubilee • How to find an HNO needle in a (bio)–chemical Haystack • Photoactive Metal Nitrosyl and Carbonyl Complexes Derived from Designed Auxiliary Ligands: An Emerging Class of Photochemotherapeutics • Metal––Metal Bond–Containing Complexes as Catalysts for C––H Functionalization Iron Catalysis in Synthetic Chemistry • Reactive Transition Metal Nitride Complexes

Kenneth D. Karlin 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
