Organometallics in Environment and Toxicology (Metal Ions in Life Sciences, Volume 7)

This title is not available to purchase from Royal Society of Chemistry. Please visit www.bioinorganic-chemistry.org/mils for title information. 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.

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 Edited By Astrid Sigel, Helmut Sigel, And Roland K.o.
