Pierre H. Dixneuf is professor of chemistry at the University of Rennes, now Emeritus Professor. He has created a team on Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis, and in 2000 he founded the Research Institute of Chemistry of Rennes. He has developed successively several processes in ruthenium catalysed reactions: transformations of alkynes, incorporation of CO2, ruthenium-vinylidenes and allenylidenes in catalysis, catalytic synthesis of heterocycles, alkene metahesis catalysts and applications, C-H bond activation including in water. He has designed many new ruthenium catalysts especially involving metal-carbene bond. He has published more than 380 papers, edited 2 books and owns 5 patents. He is a member of Institute Universitaire de France (IUF) since 2000.
The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical overviews of research results in organometallic chemistry. As our understanding of organometallic structure, properties and mechanisms increases, new ways are opened for the design of organometallic compounds and reactions tailored to the needs of such diverse areas as organic synthesis, medical research, biology and materials science. Thus the scope of coverage includes a broad range of topics of pure and applied organometallic chemistry, where new breakthroughs are being achieved that are of significance to a larger scientific audience. The individual volumes of Topics in Organometallic Chemistry are thematic. Review articles are generally invited by the volume editors. All chapters from Topics in Organometallic Chemistry are published OnlineFirst with an individual DOI. In references, Topics in Organometallic Chemistry is abbreviated as Top Organomet Chem and cited as a journal.
