Metals in pharmaceuticals have played an increasingly important
role in medicine over the last century, particularly in cancer
therapy and diagnostic imaging methods. Medicinal Applications of
Coordination Chemistry focuses on the role that transition metals
play in clinical applications. Medicinal Applications of
Coordination Chemistry begins with a brief historical review and an
introduction to the chemistry of d- and f- block metals. Subsequent
sections discuss metallodrugs for a number of different
applications, the design of new drugs and the relationship between
structure and function. Key sections include diagnostic
applications of metal compounds in anatomical and functional
imaging, and therapeutic applications of metals compounds. This
book is ideal for researchers in academia and industry and comes
complete with examples of real life applications.
With an emphasis on co-ordination compounds, d- and f-Block
Chemistry aims to provide an introduction to the principles
underlying the chemistry of the d- and f-block metals. It briefly
describes the origins, uses and importance of these elements before
considering the factors underlying their chemical properties. The
book describes aspects of structure, bonding, chemical
thermodynamics and spectroscopy, which underpin studies of the
chemistry of these elements. Examples are drawn from different
parts of the d- or f-blocks to illustrate particular points and
study questions allow students to practice the application of the
principles they have learned. The text assumes a basic knowledge of
symmetry, atomic structure, thermodynamics and electrode
potentials. A familiarity with the qualitative use of the molecular
orbital approach to bonding is also assumed, although an
understanding of group theory is not essential. The material is
aimed at first and second year undergraduates, with a view to
providing a basis for more advanced studies of the reactions,
electronic structures, spectra and magnetism of transition metal
complexes. Additional material is available on the website at
www.rsc.org/tct Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry
students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of
short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the
fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science
courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic
principles underlying a given subject, embodying an
independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.
