Publisher's Synopsis
In covering the chemistry of the copper and zinc triads, this important new book discusses the six elements concerned, namely Cu, Ag, Au, Zn, Cd and Hg, and in doing so identifies three major themes - environmental chemistry, biological/medicinal chemistry and organometallic/co-ordination chemistry (including cluster chemistry). It contains over 40 papers, written by acknowledged experts, and provides a thoroughly up to date account of key aspects of the subject. The diversity of the material contained within The Chemistry of Copper and Zinc Triads makes it compulsory reading for researchers with interests in these elements or in the broader topics covered, and will also prove invaluable for newcomers to the field.
