Infos

The Progress in Inorganic Chemistry series provides inorganic chemistry with a forum for critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of the discipline. Volume 52, Dithiolene Chemistry: Synthesis, Properties, and Applications continues this forum with a focus on dithiolene chemistry and a significant, up-to-date selection of papers by internationally recognized researchers. Dithiolene complexes have a remarkable set of properties, a fact which has made them the object of intense study for new materials and sensors.

Autor

EDWARD I. STIEFEL is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Princeton University. He has worked as Senior Scientific Advisor at ExxonMobil Corporate Strategic Research and as Senior Investigator at the Charles F. Kettering Research Laboratory. He is a member of the Board of Reviewing Editors of Science, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the winner of the American Chemical Society Award in Inorganic Chemistry for the year 2000. He is also the founding co-chair (with Russell Hille) of the Inaugural Gordon Research Conference on Molybdenum and Tungsten Enzymes (July 1999) and (with François Morel) of the Inaugural Gordon Research Conference on Environmental Bioinorganic Chemistry (June 2002).

Rezensionen

"...a valuable contribution to the literature...the editor
should be congratulated upon producing it to such a high standard.
I recommend it unreservedly..." (Angewandte Chemie,
December 17, 2004)

"...a balanced and comprehensive treatment of incontestable
currency and utility...a primary, and possibly indispensable,
resource." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, August
11, 2004)

"...an extremely useful addition..."
(Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Vol 18, No 8, August
2004)

"The editor, Dr. Edward Stiefel, has impeccable credentials. You
could not find a better person to serve as editor. He is very well
known, in fact renowned among inorganic chemists. Moreover, he is
highly efficient and should prove pleasant to work with. Last, but
not least, his knowledge of chemistry and its denizens is
voluminous."

--Dr. Marc Walters, New York University, Department of
Chemistry

"This book would serve an important need."

--Dr. Stephen Koch, SUNY Stony Brook, Chemistry Department

"Dithiolene metal complexes have a history going back to the
1960's (at least). But, interest in such compounds faded by the
seventies. However, there has been a major resurgence, just in the
last very few years, and a number of research groups have found
exciting new properties (i.e., photochemistry, luminescence),
applications as sensors and new materials of industrial interest.
Moreover, very recent (in the last five years, or less) biochemical
insights have revealed that dithiolene-metal complexes exist in
nature, in certain enzyme active sites. Thus, a segment of the
biochemical and (bio)inorganic chem istry community is currently
devoting considerable attention to inorganic synthetic, theoretical
and other aspects of dithiolene coordination chemistry."

--Dr. Kenneth D. Karlin, Editor of Progress in Inorganic
Chemistry, and Chemistry Professor at John Hopkins University

"Overall, I am quite enthusiastic about the proposed book on
dithiolenes. This is an active research area, and I have long been
curious that there is not monograph on the subject."

--Dr. T.B. Rauchfuss, University of Illinois,
Urbana-Champaign
