The first comprehensive resource on the chemistry of vanadium,
Vanadium: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, and Practical
Applications has evolved from over a quarter century of research
that concentrated on delineating the aqueous coordination reactions
that characterize the vanadium(V) oxidation state. The authors
distill information on biological processes needed to understand
vanadium effects in biological systems and make this information
accessible to a wide range of readers, including chemists without
extensive biological training. Building a hierarchy of complexity,
the book provides a discussion of some basic principles of 51V NMR
spectroscopy followed by a description of the self-condensation
reactions of vanadate itself. The authors delineate reactions with
simple monodentate ligands and then proceed to more complicated
systems such as diols, a-hydroxy acids, amino acids, peptides, to
name just a few. They revisit aspects of this sequence later, but
first highlight the influence the electronic properties of ligands
have on coordination and reactivity. They then compare and contrast
the influences of ligands, particularly those of hydrogen peroxide
and hydroxylamine, on heteroligand reactivity. The book includes
coverage of vanadium-dependent haloperoxidases and model systems,
vanadium in the environment, and technological applications. It
also briefly covers the catalytic reactions of peroxovanadate and
haloperoxidase model compounds. It contains a discussion of the
vanadium haloperoxidases and the biological and biochemical
activities of vanadium(V) including potential pharmacological
applications. The last chapters step outside these boundaries by
introducing some aspects of the future of vanadium in
nanotechnology, the recyclable redox battery, and the
lithium/silver vanadium oxide battery. Primary sources documented
after each chapter minimize the need to search the literature, 80
illustrations provide structural information, reaction schemes,
spectra, speciation diagrams, and biochemical schemes, and 22
tables present detailed information with references to primary
sources. Packed with current and authoritative information, the
book covers chemistry and bioinorganic vanadium chemistry in a
broad and systematic manner that engenders comprehensive
understanding.
