Multiferroics, materials with a coexistence of magnetic and
ferroelectric order, provide an efficient route for the control of
magnetism by electric fields. The authors cover multiferroic
thin-film heterostructures, device architectures and
domain/interface effects. They critically discuss achievements as
well as limitations and assess opportunities for future
applications.
One of the biggest questions in today's biochemistry is how
biological molecules became essential for the processes that occur
within living cells. This new book from outstanding Metal Ions in
Life Science series gives an overview about biochemical evolution
of organic molecules and metabolic pathways in living systems and
outlines the vital biochemical processes in microbial cells in
which metals are involved.
"Perovskite-Based Solar Cells: From Fundamentals to Tandem Devices"
gives fundamental understanding of perovskite solar cells from the
chemical composition of each thin layer composing the different
stacks to the whole device. Special attention has been given to the
development of the materials forming the perovskite solar cell and
their effect on the device performance, in addition to the recent
progress of this emerging technology. Moreover, light has been shed
on the perovskite elaboration techniques, in addition to the
several techniques proposed to improve both the efficiency and the
stability of perovskite solar cells. Furthermore, special emphasis
was given to the three types of tandem solar cells and their recent
advances starting from Perovskite/perovskite tandem solar cells to
Perovskite/ CIGS tandem cells to perovskite/ heterojunction silicon
tandem solar cells. The latter constitute a promising solution to
improve photovoltaic solar cells performance.
Heterogeneous catalysts are an important tool for greener catalytic
processes due to the ease of their removal from the reaction
mixture and feasibility of reuse. When these catalysts can operate
in the ideal green solvent, water, they improve the sustainability
of the process. This book explores aqueous mediated heterogeneous
catalysts and their use in synthesis. Topics covered include
nanomaterials, quantum dots, metal organic frameworks, and their
use as catalysts.
Porphyrins, composed of four pyrrole subunits, are highly important
compounds, which are ubiquitous in biological systems. This book
reviews the factors that influence physical and chemical properties
of tetrapyrrole species and explores the ways to tune geometric and
electronic structures of porphyrins in order to modify their
electronic, optical and magnetic characteristics.
Volume 22, entitled Metal Ions in Bio-Imaging Techniques, of the
series Metal Ions in Life Sciences deals with metal ions as tools
in imaging. This dates back to the first half of the past century,
when barium sulfate was orally given to patients undergoing X-ray
examination. The use of contrast agents has since developed into a
large interdisciplinary field encompassing not only medicine, but
also chemistry, material sciences, physics, biology, engineering,
and computer sciences. MILS-22 provides deep and current insights
in 17 stimulating chapters on the new research frontiers of this
fast growing field on bio-imaging ... and beyond. For example,
adding bio-sensing yields theranostic agents, meaning diagnosis and
therapy linked in the same molecule; ions of Gd, Mn, Fe, Co, Ir,
99mTc, etc., are involved. Other important topics are, e.g., metal
complexes in paramagnetic Chemical Exchange Transfer (paraCEST),
radiometals for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging, or
paramagnetic metal ion probes for 19F magnetic resonance imaging.
MILS-22 is written by 57 internationally recognized experts from 12
countries, that is, from the US via Europe to China. The impact of
this vibrant research area is manifested by more than 2300
references and nearly 120 figures, mostly in color, and several
informative tables. To conclude, Metal Ions in Bio-Imaging
Techniques is an essential resource for scientists working in the
wide range from material sciences, enzymology, analytic, organic,
and inorganic biochemistry all the way through to medicine
including the clinic ... not forgetting that also excellent
information for teaching is provided.
Phosphors are often consisting of transition-metal compounds or
rare-earth compounds, with the most common application being
displays and fluorescent light. This book will guide the reader

bioluminescence of rare earth phosphors and crystals. Also, the
effect of doping will be discussed.
Boron-based drugs have attracted broad interest from both academia
and industry. This book describes advanced boron-based drugs, new
applications and related pharmacology. Authoritative yet
accessible, it begins with an introduction to general boron
chemistry, before detailing FDA-approved boron-containing drugs,
boron agents for neutron capture therapy and clinical reports for
boron neutron capture therapy. Designed for academic and industrial
scientists, this is a valuable resource that brings together in one
comprehensive volume cutting-edge information on the current state
of boron-based medicinal chemistry.
Practical skills form the cornerstone of chemistry. However, the
diversity of skills required in the laboratory means that a
student's experience may be limited. While some techniques do
require specific skills, many of them are transferable generic
skills that are required throughout the subject area. Limited time
constraints of the modern curriculum often preclude or minimise
laboratory time. Practical Skills in Chemistry 3rd edition provides
a general guidance for use in and out of practical sessions,
covering a range of techniques from the basic to the more advanced.
This 'one-stop' text will guide you through the wide range of
practical, analytical and data handling skills that you will need
during your studies. It will also give you a solid grounding in
wider transferable skills such as teamwork, using information
technology, communicating information and study skills. This
edition has been enhanced and updated throughout to provide a
complete and easy-to-read guide to the developing skills required
from your first day through to graduation, further strengthening
its reputation as the practical resource for students of chemistry
and related discipline areas.
With its updates to quickly changing content areas, a strengthened
visual presentation and the addition of new co-author Paul Fischer,
the new edition of this highly readable text supports the modern
study of inorganic chemistry better than ever. Inorganic Chemistry,
Fifth Edition delivers the essentials of Inorganic Chemistry at
just the right level for today's classroom - neither too high (for
novice students) nor too low (for advanced students). Strong
coverage of atomic theory and an emphasis on physical chemistry
give students a firm understanding of the theoretical basis of
inorganic chemistry, while a reorganized presentation of molecular
orbital and group theory highlights key principles more clearly.
The elucidation of reaction mechanisms generally requires the
carefully designed control of molecular symmetry to distinguish
between the many possible reaction pathways. Making and Breaking
Symmetry in Chemistry emphasises the crucial role played by
symmetry in modern synthetic chemistry. After discussion of a
number of famous classical experiments, the advances brought about
by the introduction of new techniques, in particular NMR
spectroscopy, are exemplified in numerous cases taken from the
recent literature. Experimental verification of many of the
predictions made in Woodward and Hoffmann's explication of the
Conservation of Orbital Symmetry are described. Applications that
involve the breaking of molecular symmetry to resolve these and
other mechanistic problems in organic, inorganic and organometallic
chemistry are presented in the first sections of the book, together
with many examples of the detection of hitherto hidden
rearrangement processes.Subsequently, under the aegis of making
molecular symmetry, examples of the preparation of highly
symmetrical molecules found in the organic, organometallic or
inorganic domains are discussed. These include Platonic
hydrocarbons or boranes, tetrahedranes, cubanes, prismanes,
dodecahedrane, fullerene fragments such as corannulene, sumanene or
semibuckminsterfullerene, and other systems of unusual geometries
or bonding characteristics (Moebius strips, molecular brakes and
gears, Chauvin's carbomers, Fitjer's rotanes, persubstituted rings,
metal-metal multiple bonds, etc.). The text also contains vignettes
of many of the scientists who made these major advances, as well as
short sections that briefly summarise key features of important
topics that underpin the more descriptive material. These include
some aspects of chirality, NMR spectroscopy, and the use of
isotopic substitution to break molecular symmetry. A brief appendix
on point group symmetry and nomenclature is also helpfully
provided.

This volume discusses the role of MOFs in removal of pharmaceutical
pollutants. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are advanced porous
materials and are promising adsorbents with facile modifications,
high specific surface area, controllable porosity, and tailored
surface properties. Pharmaceutical pollution is an issue of concern
due to its effects on environment. Recently, researchers have
designed MOFs for use in remediation.
Chalcogen-nitrogen chemistry involves the study of compounds that
exhibit a linkage between nitrogen and sulfur, selenium or
tellurium atoms. Since the publication of A Guide to
Chalcogen-Nitrogen Chemistry in 2005, the emphasis of
investigations of chalcogen-nitrogen compounds has advanced from a
focus on fundamental studies to the development of practical
applications, as indicated by the title of this new edition.
Pharmaceutical applications of organic sulfur-nitrogen compounds
include drugs for the treatment of various diseases, as well as
probes for locating tumour cells. From a materials perspective,
carbon-containing chalcogen-nitrogen heterocycles have applications
in everyday devices such as LEDs and solar cells. A new technology
based on binary sulfur nitrides is being used for fingerprint
detection in forensic science. As a result, this book includes
seven new chapters and updates the others with extensive literature
coverage of developments since 2005 while retaining earlier seminal
results. This comprehensive text is essential for anyone working in
the field, and the four introductory chapters emphasise general
concepts that will be helpful to the non-specialist. The treatment
is unique in providing a comparison of sulfur, selenium and
tellurium compounds. Each chapter is designed to be self-contained,
and there are extensive cross-references between chapters.
This book presents the synthetic methodologies as well as the
properties and potential usage of various ruthenium-containing
materials. Starting from the first examples of 'ruthenopolymers'
reported in the 1970s to the 3D architectures now synthesized,
these materials have shown their importance far beyond fundamental
polymer science. As well as highlighting the remarkable properties
and versatile applications, this book also addresses a key question
related to the applications of such heavy-metal-containing
materials from the perspective of achieving a sustainable future.
This book is of interest to both materials scientists and chemists
in academia and industry.
