Features

  • Studies static and dynamic molecular properties of inorganic, bioinorganic, and organometallic complexes as well as supramolecular systems and metalloenzymes
  • Investigates techniques used to control the electronic, optical, and magnetic properties of molybdenum complexes by redox-active ligands
  • Illustrates principles and approaches for the analysis of organic systems
  • Explores the use of a new family of supporting electrolytes in inorganic electrochemistry
  • Summary

    Chemists increasingly apply electrochemical methods to the investigation of their systems, in particular towards a better understanding of molecular properties, the exploration of chemical reactions involving electron-transfer (ET), the initiation of further reactions by ET, the kinetic measurements, and the establishment of the reaction mechanisms, as well as the synthesis (electrosynthesis) of desired products.

    Trends in Molecular Electrochemistry presents recent research on procedures in molecular electroactivation and electrocatalysis, bioelectrochemistry, spectroelectrochemistry, and unconventional electrochemistry. The book highlights the state-of-the-art in the application of electrochemistry by taking an interdisciplinary approach to the study of both static and dynamic molecular properties of coordination compounds as well as inorganic, bioinorganic, and organometallic complexes, supramolecular systems, and metalloenzymes. The principles and approaches are often also valid for organic systems, which are illustrated in various contexts.
