Michael Pope, was born and educated in England. He received B.A. and D.Phil. degrees from Oxford University. He can be considered as one of the leading and most influential polyoxometalate chemists worldwide. His 1983 book entitled “Heteropoly and Isopoly Oxometalates”[1] is the most cited reference in the field (>5500 citations).[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
