Elements of Molecular and Biomolecular Electrochemistry – An Electrochemical Approach to Electron Transfer Chemistry, 2nd Edition

PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON ELECTRON TRANSFER CHEMISTRY USING ELECTROCHEMICAL PRINCIPLES AND SERVES AS A ROADMAP TO THE FIELD OF ELECTROCHEMISTRY

Written by two of the world's leading authorities in the field of electrochemistry, this book comprehensively addresses workhorse electrochemical reactions that serve as the basis of modern research for alternative energy solutions. It updates the previous edition and adds substantial new information throughout--most of which concerns proton-coupled electron transfer reactions and molecular catalysis of electrochemical reactions--and includes extended appendices for the reader.

Elements of Molecular and Biomolecular Electrochemistry: An Electrochemical Approach to Electron Transfer Chemistry, 2nd Edition offers chapters covering such topics as: single electron transfer at an electrode; coupling of electrode electron transfers with homogeneous chemical reactions; coupling between electron transfer and heavy atom-bond breaking and formation; proton-coupled electron transfers; molecular catalysis of electrochemical reactions; and enzymatic catalysis of electrochemical reactions. It is a handy, single source of key information, and will be invaluable in the research of alternative energy sources in the years to come.

• Provides an accessible and readable summary on the use of electrochemical techniques and the applications of electrochemical concepts to functional molecular-level systems
• Includes a new chapter on proton-coupled electron transfer, a completely revamped chapter on molecular catalysis of electrochemical reactions, and added sections throughout the book
• Bridges a gap and strengthens the relationship between electrochemists and molecular and biomolecular chemists--showing a variety of functions that may be obtained by multi-component systems designed using the paradigms of both chemistries
• Written by two of the most prominent experts in the world

Elements of Molecular and Biomolecular Electrochemistry: An Electrochemical Approach to Electron Transfer Chemistry, 2nd Edition is an ideal resource for scientists engaged in research in the fields of electrochemistry, supramolecular, physical, and physical organic and inorganic chemistry, material science and nanotechnology, photochemistry, and energy--and electron--transfer processes.
