Informationen zum Autor Zeev B. Alfassi is the editor of S-Centered Radicals, published by Wiley. Klappentext S-centered Radicals Edited by Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel Sulfur containing radicals, formed from sulfur emissions from natural sources (e.g. volcanoes), power plants and from car exhausts, play an important role in our atmosphere. In the living cell, sulfur constitutes an essential part of the defence against oxidative damage and in the course of this mechanism is transformed into a variety of sulfur free radical species. S-centered Radicals deals with the organic radicals containing sulfur atoms, RS*, RSO*, RSO_2* and R_3S and the inorganic radicals, *SH and SO_x*. This is the book to bring together all the recent developments of S-centered radical chemistry. This area is extremely important to organic synthetic chemists and environmentalists. S-centered radicals are of increasing interest in biochemistry and medicine due to S-containing amino-acids and S-S bonds in proteins. Sulfur radicals are also involved in polymer chemistry and photonic materials as well as in radiation protection and nutrition. This title is the essential volume for anyone working in sulfur chemistry. Zusammenfassung A study of the chemistry of sulphur radicals which deals with both the organic radicals containing sulphur atoms (mainly the S-centered radicals, RS, RSO and RSO2) and the inorganic radicals, SH and SOx. Each chapter has been written by a specialist in the field. Inhaltsverzeichnis Structures of Sulphur - Centered Radicals (D. Armstrong & D. Chipman). Thermochemistry of Sulfur Radicals (D.
