| Summary |
The book presents an overview of the advances pioneered by Henry Taube over four decades in the mechanisms of electron transfer reactions, charge transfer complexes, and [pi] back-bonding effects in metal-ligand interactions. The application of these principles to diverse areas of chemistry and biology such as the selective and controlled oxidation of organic functional groups, polymerization catalysis, metal biological interactions with DNA, biological electron transfer reactions, and new imaging agents in diagnostic medicine are discussed |
