Molecular Metal-Metal Bonds (eBook)

Stephen Liddle obtained his BSc Hons (1997) and PhD (2000) from Newcastle University. After postdoctoral fellowships at Edinburgh, Newcastle, and Nottingham Universities he took up a Royal Society University Research Fellowship at Nottingham (2007) and was promoted to Associate Professor and Reader (2010). He has been awarded an ERC Starting Investigators Grant (2009, uranium-metal bonds), the RSC Sir Edward Frankland Fellowship and Bill Newton awards (2011), and he was a co-recipient of the IChemE Petronas prize for education and training (2008). He was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in 2011. He is Chairman of COST Action CM1006 and was recently elected as a Vice President of the executive committee of the European Rare Earth and Actinide Society. He is a member of the Board of Editors for Philosophical Transactions A of the Royal Society and has published over 100 primary-research and review articles to date.
