I joined Wikipedia with an interest to improve and correct some of the entries on organic and main-group element chemistry. I am a Ph.D. (Georgia Tech 1976) Chemist with both academic and industrial experience and over 150 patents and peer-reviewed publications. My research interests and expertise are primarily in the area of synthesis and unusual valency. Ich bin Inhaber des Saxon-Lehrstuhls für Organische Chemie der Universität Alabama.
