James P. Collman

James Paddock Collman ( born October 31, 1932 in Beatrice ( Nebraska) ) is an American chemist who deals with inorganic, organic and metal - organic chemistry.

Life

Collman studied at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln with a bachelor 's degree in 1954 and a master's degree in 1955 and in 1958 received his doctorate at the University of Illinois at Urbana -Champaign, Reynold C. Fuson at in chemistry. In 1958 he became instructor and later professor at the University of North Carolina, and from 1967 he was a professor at Stanford University, from 1980 when George A. and Hilda M. Daubert Professor.

It dealt with how redox reaction to transfer electrons at several different biological enzymes with metal centers ( nitrogenase, cytochrome c, cytochrome P450, hemoglobin, myoglobin) are accomplished and biomimetic synthesis of such enzymes.

Collman 's reagent is the sodium salt of Eisentetracarbonylats (see metal carbonyls ).

Honors and Memberships

In 1972, he was as Erskine Fellow at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand.

He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Royal Society of Chemistry.
