Tin chemistry retains a place in contemporary science as
an important element owing to its wide range of
applications. New and exciting research is being generated on
an annual basis from all parts of the world – the study of
tin and its compounds attracts considerable interest from a range
of perspectives such as organic synthesis, medicine, materials
chemistry, catalysis and environment.
Tin Chemistry – Fundamentals, Frontiers and
Applications collects, in one comprehensive volume,
authoritative and concise snapshots of modern tin chemistry in a
full range of applications. Over forty of the leading tin chemistry
experts have contributed reviews in six themes:
* fundamentals in tin chemistry
* materials chemistry and structural chemistry of tin
compounds
* medicinal and biocidal applications of tin compounds
* tin in the environment
* tin in organic synthesis
* tin in catalysis
Tin Chemistry – Fundamentals, Frontiers and
Applications is an essential overview of modern perspectives on
this important element for the specialist and non-specialist alike.
It will promote cross-disciplinary interactions and at the same
time be an essential teaching resource for advanced university
classes.
