Triazole Chemistry and Nanotechnology: A Merger for a New Revolution covers recent examples of triazole-based nanotech formulation and its applications in sustainable agriculture, target-specific medicine, eco-textiles and food and environmental monitoring. Triazoles are 5-membered heteroaromatic ring structures containing three nitrogen atoms. Highlighting the ever-widening scope of triazole chemistry and nanotechnology across a range of scientific disciplines, this book discusses the importance of triazole chemistry and its application in nanotechnology to R&D with the purpose of economically viable, eco-friendly and sustainable product development. Both 1,2,3- and 1,2,4-isomers are widespread in biologically active compounds and functional materials, and as a consequence, their synthesis, reactivity and properties have been of high interest over the last two decades. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in medicinal and synthetic chemistry as well as those using heterocycles in their research or product development.

About the author
Tahir Farooq did his doctorate under the supervision of Dr. Bengt Erik Haug and Dr. Leiv K. Sydnes from the University of Bergen, Norway. During research work, he worked in the area of “click chemistry” for the synthesis of triazolic compounds. He followed Huisgen’s 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions using Cu-catalysis and Ru-catalysis approach to synthesize various 1,4- and 1,5-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazoles. Currently, Dr. Farooq is using the least-explored 1,2,3-triazoles as plant growth regulators and stress protectants, and is interested in exploring the role of 1,2,3-triazoles in abiotic stress management in crop plants.
