Nanoscale Interactions of Metal-Containing Polymers

This series provides a useful, applications-oriented forum for the
next generation of macromolecules and materials. This volume,
seventh in the series, covers nanoscale interactions of
metal-containing polymers. Example chapters include:

* Nanoscale Clusters and Molecular Orbital Interactions in
Macromolecular-Metal Complexes

* Metal Oxide Clusters as Building Blocks for Inorganic-Organic
Hybrid Polymers
