I am proud to be associated with this journal and I am sure that it will reach even greater heights in the years to come. C.N.R. Rao ” 614501011_gu www.ChemAsianJ.org SPEAKERS Asymmetric Hydrogenation:Our Three Decades with BINAP RyojiNoyori Nagoya University and RIKEN [email protected] (Saitama, Japan) Noyori acquired bachelor's and master'sdegrees from Kobe University (Japan) and completed his PhD there in 1967, under the supervisionofH.Nozaki, on the first example of organometallicasymmetric catalysis. He was then appointed associate professor at Nagoya University, and onlylater, in 1969, had the opportunity to carry out postdoctoral research with E. J. Corey (Harvard University, USA). Back in Nagoya he was promoted to professor in 1972 and has remained faithful to this institution whileserving as president of RIKEN, since 2003. His work on asymmetric hydrogenation,for example with binap complexes, earned him the Nobel Prize in 2001, together with W. S. Knowles and K. B. Sharpless. Catalysis for TotalSynthesis AloisFürstner Max-Planck-Institut für Kohlenforschung [email protected] (Mülheim/Ruhr, Germany) Fürstner completed his PhD in 1987 at the Technical University of Graz with H. Weidmann and completed his habilitation there in 1992, following apostdoctoral fellowship with W. Oppolzer (University of Geneva). He has been agroup leader at the Max Planck Institute at Mülheim since 1993 and has been adirector there since 1998. He carries out pioneering work at the interface betweenorganometallicchemistry and organic synthesis, in particular alkene and alkyne metathesis and its applicationtothe total synthesis of complex natural products, such as carbohydrates and alkaloids. 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim SPEAKERS Exploring New Superconductors andOther Supermaterials Hideo Hosono Tokyo Institute of Technology [email protected] (Yokohama, Japan) The research of H. Hosonoisdevoted to inorganic solid-state materialschemistry, especiallytransparent oxide semiconductors, which are used in flat-panel displays, and new superconductors: He introduced iron into the familyofoxide superconductor components. Hosonoearned aPhD from Tokyo Metropolitan University under the guidance of H. Kawazoe in 1982 and joined the faculty of Nagoya Institute of Technology. In 1999, he became aprofessor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. 25 Years of MembraneProtein Structures: Successesand Open Questions Hartmut Michel Max-Planck-Institut für Biophysik [email protected] (Frankfurt/Main,Germany) In 1988, Hartmut Michel received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry together with J. Deisenhofer and R. Huber for the determination of the three-dimensional structure of aphotosynthetic reaction center.Michel studied biochemistry at the Universität Tübingen (Germany) and in 1977 completed his PhD with D. Oesterhelt at the Universität Würzburg (Germany) on proton gradients at the cell membranes of halobacteria. Shortly afterwards he began attempts to crystallize membrane proteins, in which he succeeded in 1979. He moved with Oesterhelt to the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry (Martinsried, Germany) and in 1981 succeeded in crystallizing aphotosynthetic reaction center.In1987 he became director at the MPI of Biophysics (Frankfurt/M.). 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH &Co. KGaA, Weinheim SPEAKERS Olefin Polymerization: FI Catalysts for the Creation of Value-Added Olefin-Based Materials Terunori Fujita Mitsui Chemicals Inc. Research Center [email protected] (Chiba, Japan) T. Fujita graduated from Hokkaido University in 1982 and earned aPhD in 1988 in supramolecular chemistry from the Louis Pasteur University in Strasbourg under the supervision of Jean-Marie Lehn. In 1982 he joined Mitsui Petrochemical Industries (now Mitsui Chemicals). In 2001 he was appointed aMitsui research fellow for his contributions to the development of new olefin polymerization catalysts, now known as FI catalysts. He is currently aboard director and the Center Executive of the company’s research center. Fujita’s research interests have focused on the synthesis of valuable organic materials by means of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis and, more recently, on the development of high-performance olefin polymerization catalysts for the creation of new value-added olefin-based materials. Cross-Coupling Reactions of Organoboranes: An EasyWay for C—CBonding Akira Suzuki Hokkaido University [email protected] (Sapporo, Japan) Suzuki received his doctorate in 1959 at Hokkaido University, Sapporo (Japan) and was, after aresearch stay with H. C. Brown (Purdue) in the late 1960s, aprofessor there from 1965 until1994. Towards the end of the 1970s he was able to show that organoboron compounds can be coupled with vinyl and aryl halides under basic conditionsand palladium catalysis. Together with Richard F. Heck and Ei-ichi Negishi,this discoveryearned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2010. 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH &Co.
