F. G. A. Stone: Leaving No Stone Unturned: Pathways in Organometallic Chemistry

by A.J. Gordon

Gordon Stone, famous English professor, bridged inorganic and organic chemistry. He and his colleagues synthesized hundreds of novel organometallic molecules having remarkable and previously unknown bonding characteristics, leading to an understanding of the structure and reactivity of many unusual and curious organometallic substances. In this book, Stone discusses the nature of funding and academics in Britain and in the United States. Much of Stone's dry wit and insightful wisdom is illustrated in his autobiography. In addition, many photographs depict both the professional as well as the personal side of this renowned scientist.
