Eduardo Peris (ORCID: 0000-0001-9022-2392) graduated in Chemistry in 1988 in the University of Valencia. He received his Ph.D. Degree in Chemistry (1991) in the Universidad de Valencia, which he performed under the supervision of Prof. Pascual Lahuerta. In 1994 he joined Prof. Robert Crabtree’s group at Yale University, where he stayed for two years, working on a research project regarding the determination of hydrogen bonding to metal hydrides (dihydrogen bond). In October 1995 he moved to the Universitat Jaume I (Castellón-Spain) where he is Professor of Inorganic Chemistry. Over the last 10 years, Eduardo Peris directed special attention to the design of heterobimetallic catalysts for tandem catalytic reactions, in which each metal mediated a mechanistically distinct reaction. Most recently, Eduardo Peris developed poly-NHC-based supramolecular systems for the recognition of small polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and for the study of homogeneously catalysed processes in confined spaces. This includes the preparation of molecular squares, rectangles and related two-and three-dimensional assemblies for the recognition of organic substrates (guests) and for catalysis. Eduardo Peris has authored or co-authored 220 articles in international chemistry journals, which received >15.000 citations. He has co-authored more than ten book chapters or monographies, and directed 18 Doctoral Theses. In the period 2007-2010 Eduardo Peris was member of the Advisory Board of ACS-Organometallics. From 2014 to 2018 he served as President of the Spanish Organometallic Chemistry Division (GEQO), from the Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry (RSEQ). He is a fellow of the Royal society of Chemistry (RSC) since 2015. Eduardo Peris has received a number of awards and recognitions, among them: the ‘Spanish Royal Society of Chemistry ’ (RSEQ) award in the field of Inorganic Chemistry Research (2012); the Humboldt Research Award (2019); the Rafael Usón Medal from the Organometallic Chemistry Division (GEQO) of the RSEQ (2021); the Mond-Nyholm Prize from the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) (2023).
