Handbook of porphyrin science with applications to chemistry

Kadish , University of Houston Kevin M. All rights reserved. Volume 45 in the highly successful series Handbook of Porphyrin Science presents three very informative chapters of significant topical interest to researchers in the broad field of porphyrin science.

The first chapter Chapter systematically describes in great detail the many synthetic methods utilized for the preparation of both metal-free and metallo-phthalocyanines. In the second chapter Chapter , new developments in the synthesis, structure, and circular dichroism of chiral porphyrin systems are discussed in depth.

The third and final chapter in this volume Chapter describes up-to-date advances in the use of computational methodology for the design and synthesis of functionally useful tetrapyrroles such as phthalocyanines, porphyrins and 9. The volume concludes with a useful comprehensive index.

The overall emphasis of Volume 45 of the Handbook of Porphyrin Science series, centers on synthetic methodology and processes, with a diversion in Chapter to include predictive computational methodology, and in Chapter to address the importance of chirality in tetrapyrrole systems. All three chapters will be of interest to researchers in the field and should provide powerful tools for anyone involved in the chemistry of phthalocyanines, porphyrins and related systems.

Guilard, Roger. Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index. Professors Karl Kadish, Kevin Smith and Roger Guilard are internationally recognized experts in the research field of porphyrins, each having his own separate area of expertise in the field. Between them, they have published over peer-reviewed papers and edited more than three dozen books on diverse topics of porphyrins and phthalocyanines.

In assembling the new volumes of this unique Handbook, they have selected and attracted the very best scientists in each sub-discipline as contributing authors of the chapters. This Handbook will prove to be a modern authoritative treatise on the subject as it is a collection of up-to-date works by world-renowned experts in the field.

Complete with hundreds of figures, tables and structural formulas, and thousands of literature citations, all researchers and graduate students in this field will find the "Handbook of Porphyrin Science" an essential, major reference source for many years to come.

They are the red color in blood heme and the green in leaves chlorophyll ; they are also excellent ligands that can coordinate with almost every metal in the Periodic Table.

Grounded in natural systems, porphyrins are incredibly versatile and can be modified in many ways; each new modification yields derivatives, demonstrating new chemistry, physics and biology, with a vast array of medicinal and technical applications. As porphyrins are currently employed as platforms for study of theoretical principles and applications in a wide variety of fields, the "Handbook of Porphyrin Science" represents a timely ongoing series dealing in detail with the synthesis, chemistry, physicochemical and medical properties and applications of polypyrrole macrocycles.
