Activation of Small Molecules - Organometallic and Bioinorganic Perspectives

The first to combine both the bioinorganic and the organometallic view, this handbook provides all the necessary knowledge in one convenient volume. Alongside a look at CO2 and N2 reduction, the authors discuss O2, NO and N2O binding and reduction, activation of H2 and the oxidation catalysis of O2.Edited by the highly renowned William Tolman, who has won several awards for his research in the field.
