He is a member of the American Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Crystallographic Association, the Biophysical Society, was elected to Phi Beta Kappa (junior year), Sigma Xi, and the American Society for Biological Chemists, and was elected a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been the editor of the well-known series "Progress in Inorganic Chemistry' from Volume 11 through the present, was an Associate Editor of the journal Inorganic Chemistry, is now an Associate Editor of the Journal of the American Chemical Society, and is currently on the editorial boards of Anticancer Drug Design, Inorganic Chemistry, Inorganica Chimica Acta, the Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry, Inorganic Chemistry Concepts, and Accounts of Chemical Research. He is the author or co-author of over 250 publications in the fields of inorganic and coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, and biophysical chemistry. He has chaired several symposia at the American Chemical Society national meetings, was Alternate Councilor for the Division of Inorganic Chemistry, and was the Chairman of the Bioinorganic Subdivision. He has given named lectures at numerous universities both in this country and abroad, served as a panel member of the Medicinal Chemistry Study Section B of the National Institutes of Health, has been a consultant for the Exxon Corporation, Smith, Kline & Beckman, and Englehard Corporation, and currently consults or John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Suntech, and NAXCOR. He was Chairman of the 1985 Gordon Conference on Inorganic Chemistry. In 1985 he won the Henry J.
