Handbook of Porphyrin Science (Volumes 36 – 40): With Applications to Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology and Medicine by Karl M Kadish,Kevin M Smith,Roger Guilard Pdf

Porphyrins, phthalocyanines and their numerous analogs and derivatives are materials of tremendous importance in chemistry, materials science, physics, biology and medicine. They are the red color in blood (heme) and the green in leaves (chlorophyll); they are also excellent ligands that can coordinate with almost every metal in the Periodic Table. Grounded in natural systems, porphyrins are incredibly versatile and can be modified in many ways; each new modification yields derivatives, demonstrating new chemistry, physics and biology, with a vast array of medicinal and technical applications.As porphyrins are currently employed as platforms for study of theoretical principles and applications in a wide variety of fields, the Handbook of Porphyrin Science represents a timely ongoing series dealing in detail with the synthesis, chemistry, physicochemical and medical properties and applications of polypyrrole macrocycles. Professors Karl Kadish, Kevin Smith and Roger Guilard are internationally recognized experts in the research field of porphyrins, each having his own separate area of expertise in the field. Between them, they have published over 1500 peer-reviewed papers and edited more than three dozen books on diverse topics of porphyrins and phthalocyanines. In assembling the new volumes of this unique handbook, they have selected and attracted the very best scientists in each sub-discipline as contributing authors.This handbook will prove to be a modern authoritative treatise on the subject as it is a collection of up-to-date works by world-renowned experts in the field. Complete with hundreds of figures, tables and structural formulas, and thousands of literature citations, all researchers and graduate students in this field will find the Handbook of Porphyrin Science an essential, major reference source for many years to come.

Handbook of Porphyrin Science: With Applications to Chemistry, Physics, Materials Science, Engineering, Biology and Medicine - Volume 46: Modern Aspec by Karl M. Kadish,Kevin M. Smith,Roger Guilard Pdf

Research in the area of porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related macrocycles continues to expand at a phenomenal rate with literally thousands of original articles being published every year in the fields of chemistry, physics, biology, material science and photodynamic therapy. The current volume comprehensively summarizes key aspects involved in the synthesis, characterization and use of these compounds, as well as computational methodologies for the design of novel tetrapyrroles whose structural and electronic properties are described. Each chapter is authored by an expert or group of experts in the field who were asked to write 'a review for the ages' and we anticipate that what is written in this volume will remain relevant for at least the next 15 years, and possibly longer.This volume should be considered as required reading for both new and experienced researchers in a number of sub-disciplines where tetrapyrroles are studied or utilized in a variety of applications. A complete understanding of the chemistry of these compounds necessitates not only a knowledge of what has been accomplished in the area of synthesis and characterization but also a knowledge of what is possible in the future when using porphyrins and related tetrapyrroles as key components for applications in catalysis, energy production and biomedical applications.
