This book is dedicated to our families: Angela, Laura and Liam (WH) Angela, Seth and Grace (JSM) Bill Henderson was born in Darlington, County Durham, and grew up in Stockton- on-Tees,bothintheNorth-EastofEngland.Hestudiedchemistryandgeochemistryatthe University of Leicester, and stayed at Leicester for his PhD in organometallic chemistry underthesupervisionofDr.RayKemmitt,studyingmetallacycliccomplexesofplatinum, palladium and nickel. An NSF-supported postdoctoral fellowship at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA with Professor Du Shriver followed. This included a period of collaborative research involving metal clusters as catalyst precursors at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan with Professor Masaru Ichikawa. Bill then returned to England, with a period spent in industry with Albright & Wilson Ltd in the West Midlands, where he carried out research and development work in organopho- sphorus chemistry and surfactants. In 1992, a lectureship in New Zealand beckoned, at theUniversityofWaikatoinHamilton,wherehehasbeeneversince.Since2000hehas been an Associate Professor, and has been Head of Department since 2002. Research interests cover a range of areas, with the characterisation of inorganic compounds using mass spectrometry being one of the central themes. Other research areas include the chemistry of the platinum group metals and gold, and applications of organophosphorus chemistry to the synthesis of novel ligands and the immobilisation of enzymes. He has published over 150 articles in refereed journals, together with three textbooks. BillismarriedtoAngela,ahighschoolteacher,andtheyhavetwochildren,Lauraand Liam. In his spare time, other interests include music, gardening and English mediaeval history. BorninRotorua,NewZealand,ScottMcIndoecompletedallhisdegreesattheUniversity of Waikato in Hamilton. His DPhil in organometallic chemistry was supervised by Professor Brian Nicholson. The New Zealand Foundation for Research, Science & Technology (FRST) awarded him a postdoctoral fellowship in 1998 to work in the
