Preface Organometallic Chemistry : from Stereochemistry to Catalysis to Nanochemistry

John Gladysz has been a leader in the field of Organometallic Chemistry for over 40 years. In 2017 he will be 65 years old. To recognize his many contributions to this field, we have decided to organize this special issue of Journal of Organometallic Chemistry that will be dedicated to him on this special occasion. We have chosen the theme “Organometallic Chemistry: from Stereochemistry to Catalysis to Nanochemistry”, because these are the areas that have motivated John’s research the most throughout his long and productive career. In particular, his work has been focused on metal-mediated organic synthesis, catalysis, stereochemistry, chiral-at-metal systems, materials, green chemistry, fluorine/fluorous chemistry, recoverable reagents/catalysts, molecular wires/metal capped polyynes, molecular gyroscopes, C1 and alkylidene ligand chemistry.

This special issue contains 2 Reviews and 36 Original reports ranging from organometallic syntheses and structural chemistry to redox chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and catalysis on supports. We thank all of the contributors for their support. A biosketch of John’s career follows in this issue. We wish to congratulate Professor Gladysz for his many contributions and outstanding achievements in the field of organometallic chemistry and wish him all the best for the future.
