“…Our first effort with group 11 chemistry was developed with β-ketoenolate complexes of Cu(II). The JT behavior of six-coordinate Cu(II) and then Cr(II) and Mn(III) complexes was a focus of our work for a number of years and involved the studies of some gifted people. − Optical powder reflectance, single-crystal polarized electronic, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopic studies were important, and the EPR spectra showed that JT distortion barriers could be very small, even in the solid state. A liquid crystal technique we developed later was applied by Hoffman to studies of inorganic and biological materials.…”

Inorganic chemistry became a passion for me as a graduate student in the 1950s. It was exciting to be part of the renaissance of the discipline, and I am pleased to have contributed to its strength. Physical concepts applied to the understanding of the properties of transition metal compounds guided our work initially. In the 1970s, probably as a direct result of the world abandoning the gold standard, the chemistry of gold was awakened after a long sleep. Much of the chemistry covered in this review of our work relates to novel compounds of gold and the properties they display which have been uncovered during the last 25 years of the 20th century. Stable metal-metal bonded Au(II) and organometallic Au(III) compounds, bi- and trimetallic oxidative addition, phosphorescent species with microsecond lifetimes, gold chains resulting from aurophilic bonding stronger than H-bonding, and recently, gold binding to organic pi acids have intrigued my group and other gold chemists during this period.
