Mechanisms of Reactions of Metal Complexes 

Reaction Mechanisms of Metal Complexes in Solution provides a comprehensive overview of an often-overlooked research area. Despite its importance and recent reshaping of the field, many inorganic chemists have lost an appreciation for the significance of stability constants and the thermodynamic aspects of complex formation. Ideal for newcomers and established researchers in the field this book is a complete treatment of the area covering advanced topics with relevance to biomedical applications, extraction metallurgy, food chemistry and a wealth of other industrial processes and research areas. The book will be of particular interest to postgraduates with an interest in coordination chemistry, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, metallobiology and related aspects of biochemistry.
