    Mariappan Periasamy (born 1952) is an Indian organometallic chemist and a professor at the School of Chemistry of the University of Hyderabad.[1] He is known for his experiments using carbon metal bonds for constructing diverse types of molecular structures,[2] and is an elected fellow of the Indian National Science Academy[3] and the Indian Academy of Sciences[4] The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded him the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, one of the highest Indian science awards, in 1996, for his contributions to chemical sciences.[5]

    Biography

    The American College, Madurai

    M. Periasamy, born to Duraisamy Mariappanadar and Krishnammal couple on 6 October 1952, at

    National Center for Scientific Research in 1995 and as a visiting professor at University of Amsterdam, (1996) and University of Marburg (1997).[3]

    Periasamy is married to Hemavathy Paramasivam and the couple has two children. The family lives in Hyderabad.

    Legacy

    Periasamy is noted for his development of new synthetic protocols such as the construction of diverse types of molecular structures using carbon metal bonds.[7] He leads a team which have developed new procedures for preparing organometallics and chiral reagents and many of them are in use with laboratories and industries,[8] NaBH4/I2 reagent system designed by his team is one such process which has become industry standard. He has also developed cost effective process for generating electricity from biomass and solar energy. His researches have been documented in a number of articles;[9] ResearchGate, an online article repository, has listed 276 of them.[10] He serves as a member of the International Scientific Committee on Boron Chemistry since 2007 and has been associated with several science journals as a member of their editorial boards.[3]

    Awards and honors

    Periasamy received the Professor B. H. Iyer Medal of the Indian Institute of Science in 1979 and the Dr. Husain Zaheer Science Foundation Young Scientist Award of the

    Pune University (1995), Professor A. B. Kulkarni Endowment Lecture of University of Mumbai (1999), and Professor D. P. Chakraborty 60th Birth Anniversary Award of Indian Chemical Society (2004).[3]
