Description
Book SynopsisOrganogermanium Compounds Understand the chemistry of organogermanium compounds with this thorough and cutting-edge reference
Discovered comparatively late in the history of chemistry, germanium has become one of the most technology-critical elements in modern industry. Germanium and its inorganic and organic derivatives found widespread applications in fiber- and infrared-optics, electronics, polymerization catalysis, solar electric technology, nanotechnology, chemotherapy, and more. Organogermanium compounds containing carbon to germanium chemical bonds, have applications in microelectronics, medicinal and health industries, and beyond.
Organogermanium Compounds: Theory, Experiment, and Applications, 2 Volume Set provides a comprehensive review of this class of compounds in two thorough volumes. It covers all modern aspects of these critically important compounds, including theoretical, synthetic, physico-chemical, and applied research. Reflecting the l
