Abstract

The second number of this first volume of Science Reviews from the End of the World, is dedicated to chemistry, more specifically, charge transfer processes in transition metal complexes. While Profs. Katz and Wolcan discuss the subject focused on inorganic complexes (attached to polymers in the case of Wolcan), Profs. Murgida and Brondino et al dedicate their reviews to metalloproteins. Therefore, we could say that the areas represented in this issue are inorganic, organometallic and bioinorganic chemistry.

Author Biography

Fabio Doctorovich, Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) - CONICET

Full Professor at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA, Argentina) and Researcher at CONICET, Fabio Doctorovich obtained his PhD in Organic Chemistry from UBA in 1990. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Georgia Institute of Technology working with Prof. E.C. Ashby and K. Barefield, first on single electron transfer, and afterwards on chemical reactions taking place in nuclear waste tanks. Back in Argentina, he started to work on nitric oxide (NO), including organic nitrosocompounds, inorganic iron, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium nitrosyl complexes, and reactivity of metalloporphyrins and pincer complexes towards HNO. He also worked on CO complexes, catalytic reactions, and other topics. Nowadays his main research focus is on reactions involving HNO. Prof. Doctorovich has published over 120 works in international journals such as Accounts of Chemical Research, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Inorganic Chemistry, Nature Communications, as well as the book The Chemistry and Biology of Nitroxyl (HNO) published at Elsevier, 2016. He has supervised 15 Ph. D. students. In 2011 he received the Guggenheim Fellowship and in 2016 the Innovar Prize.
