Mohamed Mohamed Shoukry

Dr. Mohamed Mohamed Shoukry is a Professor of Inorganic/Coordination Chemistry at Cairo University, Faculty of Science, where he has served since 1977. In parallel he has held extended research appointments at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Cardiff University, Universität Witten/Herdecke and several Saudi and Kuwaiti universities, reflecting a broad international collaboration footprint.

Research focus: His work centres on the synthesis, thermodynamic stability and reactivity of transition-metal complexes—particularly Pd(II), Ru(III) and diorganotin species—with piperazine-based and mixed N,S-donor ligands. Using potentiometry, UV-Vis and kinetic techniques he elucidates speciation in solution, substitution mechanisms and bio-relevant interactions such as thiol-induced deactivation of NO-scavenging Ru complexes.

Dr. Shoukry’s output (143 papers, h-index 27, >2 300 citations) appears regularly in Dalton Transactions, Journal of Coordination Chemistry, Journal of Solution Chemistry and similar specialist journals, documenting sustained productivity across four decades.

Funding & recognition: Studies have been supported by the European Commission, Medical Research Council (UK), Science & Technology Facilities Council and King Saud University, among others, underlining his high standing in the international coordination-chemistry community.

Although the current scrape lists no specific advisees, his long tenure and numerous co-authored works imply substantial graduate supervision and mentorship within Cairo University and partner institutions.
