About the Author

R. Bruce King is Regents' Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and a Professorial Fellow in the Center for Computational Chemistry at the University of Georgia. In recent years, after a 40-year career in synthetic inorganic and organometallic chemistry and related areas of molecular catalysis, he has increasingly become involved in various computational inorganic chemistry projects in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Georgia as well as universities in Romania and China. Dr. King has published more than 675 journal articles and edited or authored more than 20 books including more than 100 journal articles since 2000. He has won American Chemical Society Awards in Pure Chemistry and Inorganic Chemistry. He has organized international conferences in the areas of inorganic chemistry, boron chemistry, mathematical chemistry, and the Periodic Table, all of which resulted in edited books. He was the American Regional Editor of the Journal of Organometallic Chemistry for 17 years and served as Editor-in-Chief for the first two editions.
