As you might expect, its pages are packed with cutting-edge content on all aspects of inorganic chemistry.Among the outstanding features of this publication are three excellent authors, and a superb editorial team. European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry carries articles and reviews by two active and well-known figures in the field. The latter are Dr. Wolfgang Goeldi and Dr. Ferenc Lengyel.Goeldi is a Nobel Prize winning chemist who led the research which lead to the discovery of the element lead. He is currently Director of the Max Planck Institute for Inorganic Chemistry in Stuttgart, Germany. Lengyel has been part of the academic community for more than forty years.Goeldi is the author of several books. In this particular article, he focuses on the chemistry of gold and its many uses.Goeldi goes into detail on the chemistry of gold an d also shares some details about his discovery of the element and its properties. Goeldi has been a very active part of the field since his time as a graduate student at the University of Pennsylvania.His description of the chemistry of gold, including examples of gold molecules, as well as sections on such subjects as boron and platinum, represent a detailed and fascinating insight into the subject. It should be an interesting read for those interested in the chemistry of gold and other related topics.The German based Goeldi is a former member of the elite Wissenschaftskolleg Group. These organizations are recognized as being of high level of quality. It is fair to say that this publication is one of the best in its category.
