This new series offers leading contributions by well known chemists reviewing the state-of-the-art of this wide research area. Physical Organometallic Chemistry aims to develop new insights and to promote novel interest and investigations applicable to organometallic chemistry.

NMR spectroscopy has had a considerable impact on many fields of chemistry, although it has served organometallic chemistry mainly on a routine level. In a collection of reviews, leading chemists provide an insight into the scope of applications and uncover the potential of this technique for organometallic chemists. Advanced Applications of NMR to Organometallic Chemistry;

• Illustrates how recent 1D and 2D and specialized multinuclear applications can solve specific problems encountered by organometallic chemists
• Surveys modern NMR techniques in organometallic chemistry
• Includes metal NMR related techniques
• Focuses on the advent of solid state NMR in organometallic chemistry

Structure and reactivity are complex functions of various dynamic processes. The understanding of these dynamic properties is based on theoretical concepts (e.g. graph theory, Jahn-Teller effect) and the application of advanced physical methods (e.g. NMR-, EPR-, -SR spectroscopy or INS). This volume focuses on several important topics on fluxionality in organometallic and coordination chemistry, reviewed by experts in each of the respective fields. It is intended to provide both authoritative concepts and stimulating ideas in order to tackle dynamics from different angles, aiming at an interdisciplinary approach.

The fascinating fluxionality of metal-ligand interactions has been in the centre of interest ever since modern coordination and organometallic chemistry started, and has expanded towards bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis and materials sciences.

"Fluxional Organometallic and Coordination Compounds"

• Provides information on some of the most relevant physical methods for studying dynamic processes Presents numerous examples of dynamic behavior, demonstrating the efficiency of the respective method and stimulating further applications Connects main group, transition metal and solid state chemistry in the question for dynamics This volume will be an invaluable reference for researchers in organometallic and coordination chemistry, in computational and theoretical chemistry, in NMR and otherspectroscopic methods.

The principal idea of this volume is to offer a Capita Selecta of unconventional and thought-provoking topics in organometallic chemistry, presented by experts in each field. As intended, this approach leads either to reviews covering a specific uncommon class of organometallic compounds or to overviews which relate uncommon physical properties with various classes of organometallic compounds. The contributions are streamlined thus onto two main axes - unusual properties reflecting structures and bonding situations, on the one hand, and uncommon structural features or structure-reactivity relationships, on the other. Extensive cross-referencing of useful information is provided, making this volume accessible for people working in rather different areas of organometallic chemistry.

The synthesis of molecules with 'extreme' properties is a challenge for all those working in organometallic chemistry, irrelevant of theoretical/computational, synthetic or application interests. This book presents case studies at the interface of these overlapping interests.

Unusual Structures and Physical Properties in Organometallic Chemistry:

• Provides test cases for computational and theoretical models
• Presents a challenge for synthetic chemists
• Provides ideal show cases for analytical techniques

This volume will be an invaluable reference for researchers in organometallic chemistry, computational and theoretical chemistry, NMR and other spectroscopic methods.

There are an astonishing number and variety of roles that metals play in contemporary medicine. This book contains information on the medicinal uses of inorganics, that is, of elements such as boron, lithium, selenium, to name a few, as well as metal-containing species.

In keeping with the notion that healthy mammals rely on (bio-essential) metals for the normal functioning of approximately a third of their proteins and enzymes, a large number of drugs are metal-based and considerable effort is being devoted to developing both second- and third-generation drugs as well as generating novel metal-based drugs. While there is no doubt that there is an emphasis on 'Metallotherapeutics' throughout the volume, the use of metals in medicine is not restricted to metal-based drugs. The following are also covered: non-invasive radiopharmaceuticals Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) mineral supplements From the foregoing and, more importantly, from the contents of the various Chapters, the reader will gain an appreciation of the very real role metal-based drugs play in modern medicine and of the considerable effort being devoted to the development of novel complexes with greater efficacy as therapeutic and diagnostic agents.
