Autorenporträt

John Buckingham is a former lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of London. He has been involved with the Chapman & Hall/CRC chemical database since its inception in 1980, initially as a Chapman & Hall employee, more recently as editorial consultant. From the database has been produced various editions of the Dictionary of Organic Compounds and the Dictionary of Natural Products (both of which have been for some years solely electronic). In addition, he compiled (with W. Klyne and later with R. A. Hill), two editions and supplements of the Atlas of Stereochemistry and has coauthored several other specialist dictionaries in the Chapman & Hall/CRC series. He is also the author of the popular science books Chasing the Molecule and Bitter Nemesis: the Intimate History of Strychnine . V. Ranjit N. Munasinghe was formerly a senior lecturer in organic chemistry at the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka; research officer and visiting lecturer at Birkbeck College, University of London; and a research fellow in the chemistry department of Imperial College, University of London. He was also a senior research scientific officer at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR, MRC), London. With a B.Sc from the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka; Ph.D from Birkbeck College (1978); and DIC from Imperial College, University of London (1994); he has about 40 years of research and teaching experience in organic chemistry. Specializing in carbohydrate chemistry, his main areas of research included photochemical synthesis, deoxy sugars, branched chain sugars, C-glycosides, trisaccharides, and fluorescent conjugates of sialic acids. He has been involved with Chapman & Hall/CRC chemical databases since 1983 and has compiled (with Prof. P.M. Collins) Carbohydrates (1987) and Dictionary of Carbohydrates (1st Ed. 1998, 2nd Ed. 2006). He was also a consultant and compiler for the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, Dictionary of Natural Products, and Dictionary of Food Compounds (2nd Ed. 2013).
