Autorenportrait

Wolfgang Weigand received his PhD degree from the Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich under the supervision of Professor W. Beck in 1986. After a postdoctoral stay with Professor D. Seebach at ETH Zurich, he finished his habilitation at Ludwig-Maximilian-University in 1994. Since 1997 he is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena. He has received the "Forschungspreis der Thuringer Ministerin fur Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst" and he is also "Ordentliches Mitglied der Akademie gemeinnutziger Wissenschaften zu Erfurt". Philippe Schollhammer, Professor of Chemistry, obtained his PhD in 1994 at UBO (Universite de Bretagne Occidentale, Brest-France) under the supervision of Professor F.Y. Petillon. In 2001, he joined during a sabbatical leave the group of Professor R.H. Henderson at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK. His current research interests include activation of small molecules by organometallic dinuclear complexes.

Back cover copy

The growing interest in green chemistry calls for new, efficient and cheap catalysts. Living organisms contain a wide range of remarkably powerful enzymes, which can be imitated by chemists in the search for new catalysts. In bioinspired catalysis, chemists use the basic principles of biological enzymes when creating new catalyst analogues. In this book, an international group of experts cover the topic from theoretical aspects to applications by including a wide variety of examples of different systems. This valuable overview of bioinspired metal-sulfur catalysis is a must-have for all scientists working in this hot field, including PhD students, postdocs and researchers.
