Macromolecule-Metal Complexes

**Macromolecule-Metal Complexes** gives the first concise overview on the topic, both on fundamentals and new application areas. Their synthesis, kinetics and thermodynamics are detailed; special properties such as gas transport, charge transport, catalysis and lightinduced processes are emphasized. Furthermore, the authors treat the actual working areas for new application methods. Thus, the book will be a very helpful tool for Polymer Scientists, Materials Scientists, Organic Chemists, and Physical Chemists working in these fields. The first concise overview on the topic, spanning the spectrum from fundamentals to new application areas. The synthesis, kinetics and thermodynamics of these complexes are covered in detail, while much emphasis is placed on special properties such as gas transport, charge transport, catalysis and light-induced processes. Furthermore, the authors treat the actual working areas for new application methods.
In all, a very helpful tool for polymer and materials scientists, as well as organic and physical chemists working in these fields.
