From boyhood in the coal-mining village of Coello, Illinois, to
winning the Priestly Medal and becoming the president of the
American Chemical Society, Professor Emeritus Fred Basolo of
Northwestern University traces the intertwined development of his
life, career, and the field of inorganic chemistry. With over a
hundred photographs and dozens of structures and equations, From
Coello to Inorganic Chemistry details the major innovations,
travels, family life, and guests hosted while helping to build one
of the world's leading inorganic chemistry departments from its
humble beginnings at Northwestern University. Students and chemists
with interests in bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis, nanoscience,
new materials research, and organometallics can follow the
emergence of inorganic chemistry as a rival to organic chemistry
through the accomplishments of one of its most influential
pioneers.
