Dr. Reed M. Izatt, Charles E. Maw Professor of Chemistry (Emeritus), Brigham Young University, U.S.A.
Reed M. Izatt received a BS degree in Chemistry from Utah State University (1951) and a PhD degree in Chemistry from Pennsylvania State University (1954). After post-doctoral work at Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, he embarked on an academic career at Brigham Young University retiring as Charles E. Maw Professor of Chemistry (1993). He is the author or co-author of over 550 publications.
Reed has edited several books, contributed numerous chapters in books, written many journal and review articles and presented plenary, invited, and regular lectures at universities worldwide; regional, national, and international chemistry conferences; and government laboratories.
Reed has been involved in research in macrocyclic chemistry since the late 1960s. Together with James Christensen, he organized the first Symposium on Macrocyclic Chemistry in Provo, Utah in 1977. This Symposium has thrived and was one of the major precursors of the present ISMSC.
