Macromolecule-Metal Complexes [Paperback]

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.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.1 Introduction and Fundamental Aspects.- 1.1 Macromolecular Metal Complexes.- 1.2 Types, Formation and Structural Features of MMC.- 1.3 Properties and Application of MMC.- 1.4 Aim of the Book.- 2 Synthesis and Structure of Macromolecular Metal Complexes.- 2.1 Main Structural Principles of Formation and Characteristics of Macromolecular Metal Complexes.- 2.1.1 Classification, Main Requirements and Principles of Macroligands for the Formation of Macromolecular Metal Complexes.- 2.1.1.1 Main Requirements of Macroligands.- 2.1.1.2 Classification of Macroligands.- 2.1.1.3 Methods of Polymer Carrier Functionalization.- 2.1.1.4 Natural Polymers as Macroligands.- 2.1.2 General Principles of MMC Formation.- 2.1.3 Main Approaches for Calculation of Rate Constants of MMC.- 2.1.4 Cooperative Effects During MMC Formation.- 2.1.5 Thermodynamic Description of Macromolecular Metal Complex Fol£P
