Organometallics in Environment and Toxicology (Metal Ions in Life Sciences)

[Download single chapters here!](http://www.degruyter.com/viewbooktoc/product/461946) Volume 7, devoted to the vital and rapidly expanding research area around metal-carbon bonds (see also MILS-6), focuses on the environment. With more than 2500 references, 35 tables, and nearly 50 illustrations, many of these in color, it is an essential resource for scientists working in the wide range from organometallic chemistry, inorganic biochemistry, environmental toxicology all the way through to physiology and medicine. In 14 stimulating chapters, written by 29 internationally recognized experts, Organometallics in Environment and Toxicology highlights in an authoritative and timely manner environmental cycles of elements involving organometal(loid) compounds as well as the analytical determination of such species. This book examines methane formation involving the nickel coenzyme F430, as well as the organometal(loid) compounds formed by tin, lead, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, selenium, tellurium, and mercury. In addition, it deals with the environmental bioindication, biomonitoring, and bioremediation of organometal(loid)s, and it terminates with methylated metal(loid) species occurring in humans by evaluating assumed and proven health effects caused by these compounds. * With more than 2500 references, 35 tables, and nearly 50 illustrations. * Single chapters can be purchased.

This volume, closely related to MILS-6, deals mainly with metal(loid)-alkyl derivatives but also with the rarer aryl compounds. Most of these (commonly toxic) compounds are formed in the environment by microorganisms, but some anthropogenic input occurs as well. MILS-7, providing a most up-to-date view, is of special relevance for researchers in analytical and bioinorganic chemistry, enzymology, environmental chemistry, physiology, toxicology, and related medical fields. "Organometallic compounds contain per definition a metal-carbon bond. Therefore, the present Volume 7 is related to the preceding Volume 6, Metal-Carbon Bonds in Enzymes and Cofactors, which, as follows from its title, focused on living organisms. Now the focus is on the role that organometal(loid)s play in the environment and in toxicology; naturally, here again living systems are involved in the synthesis, transformation, remediation, detoxification, etc."--Preface Metal Ions in Life Sciences links coordination chemistry and biochemistry in their widest sense and thus increases our understanding of the relationship between the chemistry of metals and life processes; in fact, it is an old wisdom that metals are indispensable for life. The series reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Biological Inorganic Chemistry and coordinates the efforts of scientists in numerous interconnecting research fields 9781847551771 i_iv v_vi vii_viii ix_xiv xv_xviii xix_xx xxi_xxx 001_032 033_070 071_110 111_152 153_164 165_230 231_266 267_302 303_318 319_364 365_402 403_434 435_464 465_522 523_576
