For my first volume as Editor, I have invited Professor Colin D. Hubbard (University of Erlangen-Niirnberg, Erlangen, Germany and University of New Hampshire, Durham, NH, USA) as co-editor. Professor Hubbard studied chemistry at the University of Sheffield, and obtained his PhD with Ralph G. Wilkins. Following post-doctoral work at MIT, Cornell University and University of California in Berkeley, he joined the academic staff of the University of New Hampshire, Durham, where he became Professor of Chemistry in 1979. His interests cover the areas of high-pressure chemistry, electron transfer reactions, proton tunnelling and enzyme catalysis.

An interesting bit of history is that the American chemist Charles James, of the University of New Hampshire, and his students also discovered lutetium in 1907. They processed many tons of ore, and by using the crystallization process, produced a small sample of lutetium. James s work was recognized in 1999 by the ACS (American Chemical Society). This is the only example of a rare-earth being discovered in the United States. 

This work was supported by NSF Grant No. DAR-8003523. Early work on the toxins was supported by the New Hampshire Water Resources Research Center of the University of New Hampshire, Grant No. AO-47NH, from the Office of Water Research and Technology, United States Department of the Interior as authorized under the Water Research and Development Act of 1978, Public Law 95-467. We also thank Dr. William J. Adelman, Jr., NINCDS, Woods Hole, for performing the voltage-clamp experiments Kurt Auger for superior work in biochemistry and Toshinori Hoshi for studies on the crayfish axons. 

Isolate NRC-1 and the SS-17 clone of NRC-1 of K, aeruginosa were cultured in BG-11 medium (9) They were kindly provided by Dr. W. W. Carmichael, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio. A lyophilized sample of a toxic bloom of >1. aeruginosa collected from Kezar Lake, New Hampshire on October 10, 1978 was generously provided by Dr. J. J. Sasner, Jr., University of New Hampshire, Durham, New Hampshire. 

Before the news of Urbain s discovery reached America, Professor Charles James of the University of New Hampshire had prepared a large amount of very pure lutetia. Although deeply disappointed because his caution and delay in publishing his results had caused him to lose priority in this discovery, he accepted Urbains results without question and never pushed his own claim (19, 60). 

This remarkable work was all accomplished during a very short span of life. Professor James died in Boston on December 10, 1928, at the age of forty-eight years. In the following year, a fine, new, four-story chemistry building at the University of New Hampshire was named in his honor (19). 

Charles James, 1880-1928. Director of the chemistry department at the University of New Hampshire. Author of many papers on the rare earths. Independent discoverer of lutetium. He was born in England and studied under Sir William Ramsay.

We collaborated with Professor Palligamai Vasudevan of the Chemical Engineering Department of the University of New Hampshire on a study of immobilization of lipases on CoFoam. Immobilization was performed at the Hydrophilix facility in Portland, ME. Approximately 2 g lipase (from porcine pancreas and Mucor miehei) were stirred into 500 ml deionized water. The enzyme solution was emulsified with an equal volume of a methylene diisocyanate (MDI)-based hydrophilic polyurethane...

Catherine E. Housecroft was born in Bradford (UK) and studied at the University of Durham where she obtained a BSc (1976) and PhD (with Ken Wade, 1979) in chemistry. After a postdoctoral period with Tom Fehlner (University of Notre Dame), she was an Assistant Professor at the University of New Hampshire before moving to the University of Cambridge (Fellow of Newnham College), where she held a Royal Society University Research Fellowship before becoming a University Lecturer. In 1993, she moved to the University of Basel where (apart from two years at Birmingham University) she has remained and is currently a Professor of Chemistry. Research interests span organome-tallic, coordination and supramolecular chemistries. In addition to over 250 research publications and reviews, she is the author of a number of textbooks. She is also an editor of Polyhedron and has been a volume editor both for COMCII and COMCIII.
