R. Bruce King is emeritus professor at the University of Georgia.[1] He has contributed to many areas of organometallic chemistry, including synthesis, spectroscopy, and theory. He is the author and editor of several monographs and book series.[2]

Structure of Fe2(SCH3)2(CO)6, isomers of which King separated and characterized.[3]

Training and research interests

He received his Ph.D. in 1961 under the direction of F. Gordon A. Stone at Harvard for research on organocobalt and organoiron compounds.[4] He subsequently conducted studies on synthetic organometallic chemistry at DuPont and then at the Mellon Institute. His endeavors led to the first examples of diazonium complexes.[5] His contributions also include organophosphorus ligands.

Recognition

Among his accolades, King was recognized by the American Chemical Society Awards in Pure Chemistry (1971) and in Inorganic Chemistry (1991).
