A SYNOPSIS OF THE CAREER OF PROFESSOR F. GORDON A. STONE, CBE, FRS

In May 2010, Baylor University hosted the F. Gordon A. Stone Symposium, recognizing Gordon’s two decades of academic service to the university, and a remarkable scientific career spanning over 60 years. The list of speakers boasted an international assortment of some of the most significant figures in organometallic and inorganic chemistry from the last 50 years, each of whom was in some way academically related to Gordon, either through direct employment, collaboration, or simply a deep respect for his research. The details of Gordon’s career have been beautifully described by Anthony Hill and Peter Maitlis in a special edition of Inorganica Chimica Acta, and in one volume of the ACS ‘‘Profiles, Pathways, and Dreams’’ series, humorously entitled ‘‘Leaving No Stone Unturned: Pathways in Organometallic Chemistry.’’ By way of introduction to this edition of Comments on Inorganic Chemistry, which contains summaries of work presented at the Symposium, a brief and necessarily parsimonious outline now follows.
