Prof. Gorge R. Newkome has contributed enormously to the advance of coordination and supramolecular chemistry. He was one of the pioneers in developing dendrimers, initially named as arborols. He then focused his research activity on the development of metallo-dendrimers, which combine the properties of metal–ligand complexes with the properties of dendrimers.
Gorge R. Newkome has now turned 80 years old. To celebrate his birthday and his indisputable contribution to science, Stefan Zechel, Stephanie Schubert, Ian Manners, and Ulrich S. Schubert organized a double issue in Macromolecular Rapid Communications and Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics. The two issues feature latest research on metal-containing and metallo-supramolecular polymers, a scientific area Gorge R. Newkome contributed to greatly.
“George R. Newkome is a distinguished chemist and educator with great passion for scientific innovations, who spreads his love for science towards everybody,” professes Prof. Yi-Tsu Chan, National Taiwan University
The guest-editors and the Macromolecular journals team congratulate George Newkome on his birthday!
