George Simms Hammond (1921-2005) was bom on Hardscrabble Road m Auburn, Maine, the son of a dairy farmer. He received his Ph.D. at Harvard Universitv in 1947 and served as professor of chemistry at Iowa State University, California Institute of Technology (1958-1972), and the University of California at Santa Cruz (1972-1978). He was known for his exploratory work on organic photochemistry—the use of light to bring about organic reactions. 

Henry Gilman (1893-1986) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and received his Ph D. in 1918 at Harvard. He then became professor of chemistry at Iowa State University 11919-1962), where he remained active until his death at ago 93. An exuemely prolific researcher, Gilman published more than 1000 scientific papers during his career. Remarkably, he lost much of his eyesight at age 53 but still went or to accomplish some of fiis finest work in later years.

This book is about passion. A passion for chemistry. A passion for John D. Corbett, Distinguished Professor of Science and Humanities at Iowa State University of Science and Technology and Senior Chemist at the Ames Laboratory. A passion and admiration for John s way of conducting research in solid state chemistry and for the way he passes on his vast amount of accumulated knowledge to his students, postdoctoral associates and the community as a whole. John Corbett is a truly outstanding solid state inorganic chemist, an individual of immense and different talents, who has influenced not only his discipline but, in many ways, has led the renaissance in solid state chemistry over the past several decades. 

Arnold M. Guloy was born in Manila, in the Philippines. After graduation from Manila Science High School, he studied chemistry and received his BS degree at the University of the Philippines, Quezon City. He received his Ph.D. in Inorganic Chemistry from Iowa State University under the supervision of Professor John D. Corbett in 1992. After an IBM Postdoctoral fellowship at the IBM Research Center at York-town Heights, he joined the faculty at the University of Houston in 1994, where he is currently an Associate Professor. He has over 70 publications with emphasis on exploratory research in solid state... 

Ames Laboratory (Iowa State University, USA) investigating new solid state phases based on reduced rare earth halides. Since 1993, she has held a position at the University Jaume 1 of Castello (Spain) and became Associate Professor of Physical Chemistry in 1995. During the second semester of 2005, she held a visiting professor position at the Laboratory of Chemistry, Molecular Engineering and Materials of the CNRS-Universtity of Angers (France). Her research has been focussed on the chemistry of transition metal clusters with special interest in multifunctional molecular materials and the relationship between the molecular and electronic structures of these systems with their properties. She is currently coauthor of around 80 research papers on this and related topics. 

Huffman in the X-ray Molecular Structure Center. From 1992 to 1994 he joined the research group of Professor John D. Corbett at Iowa State University where he pursued synthetic solid-state chemistry research exploring structure/property relationships. In 1994 he joined the faculty of the Department of Chemistry at North Carolina State University where he is a full professor of Inorganic Chemistry pursuing synthetic, structural and mechanistic investigations in inorganic condensed matter. He has published more than 70 research papers and has several patented discoveries. He received an NSF CAREER award in 1995, was named a Cottrell Scholar of the Research Corporation in 1997, and received a Sigma Xi Research Award in 1999. 

Kenneth R, Poeppelmeier was born on October 6th, 1949 in St. Louis, Missouri, USA. He studied chemistry at the University of Missouri, Columbia from 1967 to 1971 (B.S. Chemistry). From 1971 to 1974 he was an Instructor in Chemistry at Samoa College in Western Samoa as a United States Peace Corps volunteer. He joined the research group of John Corbett at Iowa State University after leaving the Peace Corps, and received his Ph.D. in 1978. He i. , 1 I then joined the research staff of Ex-...

The importance of chemical-reaction kinetics and the interaction of the latter with transport phenomena is the central theme of the contribution of Fox from Iowa State University. The chapter combines the clarity of a tutorial with the presentation of very recent results. Starting from simple chemistry and singlephase flow the reader is lead towards complex chemistry and two-phase flow. The issue of SGS modeling discussed already in Chapter 2 is now discussed with respect to the concentration fields. A detailed presentation of the joint Probability Density Function (PDF) method is given. The latter allows to account for the interaction between chemistry and physics. Results on impinging jet reactors are shown. When dealing with particulate systems a particle size distribution (PSD) and corresponding population balance equations are intro-...

In 1996, Mr. Kenkel won the prestigious National Responsible Care Catalyst Award for excellence in chemistry teaching, sponsored by the Chemical Manufacturer s Association. He has a master s degree in chemistry from the University of Texas in Austin (1972) and a bachelor s degree in chemistry from Iowa State University (1970). His research at the University of Texas was directed by Professor Allen Bard. He was employed as a chemist from 1973 to 1977 at Rockwell International s Science Center in Thousand Oaks, California. 

Professor M. R. Maurya is currently heading the Department of Chemistry, IIT Roorkee. He has more than 26 years of teaching and research experience. He had worked in Loyola University of Chicago, USA, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA, National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, and Pune University Pune, before joining department of Chemistry at IIT Roorkee in 1996 and became full professor in 2008.
