Redox-Active Ligands : Concepts and Catalysis, Hardback Book

Redox-Active Ligands : Concepts and Catalysis Hardback

Edited by Marine (University of Strasbourg, France) Desage-El Murr

Hardback

Description

Redox-Active Ligands Authoritative resource showcasing a new family of ligands that can lead to better catalysts and promising applications in organic synthesis Redox-Active Ligands gives a comprehensive overview of the unique features of redox-active ligands, describing their structure and synthesis, the characterization of their coordination complexes, and important applications in homogeneous catalysis.

The work reflects the diversity of the subject by including ongoing research spanning coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry, bioinspired catalysis, proton and electron transfer, and the ability of such ligands to interact with early and late transition metals, lanthanides, and actinides. The book is divided into three parts, devoted to introduction and concepts, applications, and case studies.

After the introduction on key concepts related to the field, and the different types of ligands and complexes in which ligand-centered redox activity is commonly observed, mechanistic and computational studies are described.

The second part focuses on catalytic applications of redox-active complexes, including examples from radical transformations, coordination chemistry and organic synthesis.

Finally, case studies of redox-active guanidine ligands, and of lanthanides and actinides are presented. Other specific sample topics covered include: An overview of the electronic features of redox-active ligands, covering their historical perspective and biological backgroundThe versatility and mode of action of redox-active ligands, which sets them apart from more classic and tunable ligands such as phosphines or N-heterocyclic carbenesPreparation and catalytic applications of complexes of stable N-aryl radicals Metal complexes with redox-active ligands in H+/e- transfer transformations By providing up-to-date information on important concepts and applications, Redox-Active Ligands is an essential reading for researchers working in organometallic and coordination chemistry, catalysis, organic synthesis, and (bio)inorganic chemistry, as well as newcomers to the field.
