Metal-ligand interactions are currently being studied in different
fields, from a variety of points of view, and recent progress has
been substantial. Whole new classes of compounds and reactions have
been found; an arsenal of physical methods has been developed;
mechanistic detail can be ascertained to an increasingly minute
degree; and the theory is being developed to handle systems of
ever-growing complexity. As usual, such multidisciplinarity leads
to great opportunities, coupled with great problems of
communication between specialists. It is in its promotion of
interactions across these fields that Metal-Ligand Interactions:
From Atoms, to Clusters, to Surfaces makes its timely contribution:
the tools, both theoretical and experimental, are highly developed,
and fundamental questions remain unanswered. The most fundamental
of these concerns the nature of the microscopic interactions
between metal atoms (clusters, surfaces) and ligands (atoms,
molecules, absorbates, reagents, products) and the changes in these
interactions during physical and chemical transformation. In
Metal-Ligand Interactions, leading experts discuss the following,
vital aspects: ab initio theory, semi-empirical theory, density
functional theory, complexes and clusters, surfaces, and catalysis.
During the last decade, interest in the chemistry of biological
systems, as well as in molecular chemical engineering, has grown
considerably. Many fields in modern chemistry are contributing to a
better understanding of elementary mechanisms of various biological
processes and this has resulted in the development of new classes
of organic and organometallic compounds with specific and high
biological activity. Such a multidisciplinary approach creates
opportunities for an exchange of ideas and the need to create a
common language. This volume contains a collection of papers,
written by leading scientists which collectively provide a rich
overview of current research activities relating to the chemistry
of biological systems. These papers emphasize the interdisciplinary
nature of this research. For researchers in academia and industry
whose work involves the chemistry and properties of biomolecular
systems.
Metal-Ligand Interactions - Structure and Reactivity emphasizes the
experimental determination of structure and dynamics, supported by
the theoretical and computational approaches needed to establish
the concepts and guide the experiments. Leading experts present
masterly surveys of: clusters, inorganic complexes, surfaces,
catalysis, ab initio theory, density functional theory,
semiempirical methods, and dynamics. Besides the presentations of
the fields of study themselves, the papers also bring out those
aspects that impinge on, or could benefit from, progress in other
disciplines. Refined in the fire of an interactive and stimulating
conference, the papers presented here represent the state of the
art of current research.
In September 2002, a NATO-ASI was held in Cetraro (CS), Italy on
the theme of "Metal-Ligand Interactions in Molecular-, Nano-,
Micro-, and Macro-systems in Complex Environments". This event has
followed the previous ones held in the same place in 1991, 1994 and
1998. In the present and the previous schools a broad
interdisciplinary cross-section of experimental and theoretical
researchers, interested in a better understanding of metal-ligand
interactions from different viewpoints, was linked together to
exchange experience, to review the state-of-the-art, to indicate
new techniques and methods, to explore new fields and perspectives.
Particular emphasis was given to the problems related with the
crossing from molecular systems to nano-, macro-and micro-scale
materials and to the effects of the environment on the properties
of the molecular systems. The school was organized around lectures
and special research seminares given by leading experts in the
following fields: * metal clusters * inorganic complexes and
materials * surface phenomena * adsorption and catalysis * organic
and bio-inorganic systems * ab initio theory * density functional
theory * classical and quantum dynamics This volume contains the
formal lectures and selected contributed papers and describes the
main aspects and problems tackled during the 12 days of the event.
The intricate interactions between transition metals and ligands
are at the heart of a wide variety of chemical, physical and
biological phenomena. Understanding these interactions provides a
challenge of the first order, cutting across many fields of modern
science and impinging on numerous areas of application. The
fascinating behavior of these systems has attracted the attention
of experimentalists and theorists alike. In this book are collected
the main lectures of the NATO ASI on "Metal-Ligand Interactions in
Chemistry, Physics and Biology" held in Cetraro, Italy, in
September, 1998. This event followed two previous NATO ASI held
also in Cetraro in 1991 and 1994 dedicated to "Metal- Ligand
Interactions: from Atoms, to Clusters, to Surfaces" and to "Metal-
Ligand Interactions: Structure and Reactivity," respectively. The
increasing number of participants (115) and of requests to attend
(more than 400) confirms the importance and timeliness of this
sequence of ASI's as well as the high level of interest for the
themes treated. The lectures were organized on the basis of the
following topics: -clusters and surfaces -catalysis -inorganic
complexes -bioinorganic systems -new experimental techniques
-theoretical methodologies and were given by well known leading
experts such as: Ivano Bertini, David A. Case, Bernard Coq, Gernot
Frenking, Hans J. Freund, Francesc Illas, Jacek Lipkowski, Julius
Jellinek, Nino Russo, Dennis R. Vll viii Salahub, Karlheinz
Schwarz, Friedrich Siebert, Benoit Simard, Edward I. Solomon and
Michael Zemer.
