James P. Collman
James Paddock Collman (born October 31, 1932 in Beatrice (Nebraska) ) is an American chemist who deals with inorganic, organic and organometallic chemistry.
Life
Collman graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a bachelor's degree in 1954 and a master's degree in 1955 and received his PhD in chemistry from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1958 with Reynold C. Fuson . In 1958 he became an instructor and later professor at the University of North Carolina and from 1967 he was professor at Stanford University , from 1980 as George A. and Hilda M. Daubert professor .
He dealt with how redox reactions with the transfer of several electrons are brought about in various biological enzymes with metal centers ( nitrogenase , cytochrome c , cytochrome P450 , hemoglobin , myoglobin ) and with biomimetic synthesis of such enzymes.
Collman's reagent is the sodium salt of iron tetracarbonylate (see metal carbonyls ).
