Brief Biography of Malcolm Green Malcolm Green was an undergraduate student at Acton Technical College, and earned his B.Sc. from the University of London in 1956. He then moved to the Imperial College of Science and Technology where he received his Ph.D. in 1959 for research in early transition metal organometallic chemistry under the supervision of Professor Geoffrey Wilkinson. After a one year postdoctoral appointment at the Imperial he wan an Assistant Lecturer at Cambridge University from 1960-63, and then moved to Oxford University as a Fellow of Balliol College and University Demonstrator. He became a University Lecturer in 1965, Vice Master if Balliol in 1987, and Professor of Inorganic Chemistry in 1989. Professor Green is recognized as one of the most creative and influential synthetic inorganic chemists of his generation. He has contributed over 400 publications to the primary literature, and his book on Organometallic Compounds of the Transition Metal (which was translated into Russian, Japanese and Spanish) played a central role in defining the field during its explosive growth. His current research interests include agostic carbon-hydrogen-transition metal interactions, NLO and semiconductor properties of organometallic and intercalation solids, metal vapor synthesis of organotransition metal compounds, chiral homogenous Ziegler-Natta polymerization of alkenes, transition metal borane cluster chemistry, methane conversion chemistry, and the organometallic chemistry of fullerene and carbon nanotubes. Professor Green has held many distinguished lectureships and visiting professorships. These include visiting appointments at the University of Western Ontario, L'Ecole de Chimie et Institute des Substances Naturelles (Paris), Harvard University (A.P. Sloan Visiting Professor), Caltech (Sherman Fairchild Visiting Scholar), Max Planck Institute at Mulheim (Karl Ziegler Gastprofessor), and Wuhan University. Major lectureships include ones at Toronto University, the University of Illinois, the University of Rochester, University of Chicago, University of Iowa, University of Western Ontario, Cornell, Texas A& M University, and UC Berkeley. He is a frequent invited and plenary lecturer at international meetings including the International Conferences on Coordination Chemistry and on Organometallic Chemistry, the Organometallic and Inorganic Gordon Conferences, ACS and Royal Society of Chemistry Meetings, Table-Ronde Conferences, and the International Conference on Stereochemistry Professor Green's many honors include the Corday-Morgan Medal and Prize of the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Chemistry Society Medal in Transition Metal Chemistry, two British Gas Royal Society Senior Research Fellowships, the Royal Society of Chemistry Tilden Lectureship and Prize, the ACS Award in Inorganic Chemistry, the Sir Edward Frankland Prize, the Karl-Ziegler Prize of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker, and election as a Fellow of the Royal Society. He is currently on the editorial boards of the Journal of Molecular Catalysis, Nouveau Journal de Chemie, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, Polyhedron, and Reviews in Inorganic Chemistry.
