Bioorganometallics

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"...an excellent source of information on a rapidly developing field. It is therefore highly recommended to all researchers active in or interested in this area."
Angewandte Chemie International Edition

"This book contains a series of well written articles...
In essence the book is aimed at biochemists and chemists. The former will find many of the articles in the core of the text, detailing the use of organometallics as bioprobes, to be highly informative, providing a useful historical background and a description of the current synergy between organometallic chemistry and bioscience."
Chemistry World

"A strength of this text lies in the diversity of topics that are covered in such a succinct fashion. It will appeal to a broad spectrum of coordination chemists (organometallic to bioinorganic) as well as biochemists and molecular and cellular biologists needing a primer in this area...It should find a place on all library shelves and will no doubt be a routine reference text for specialists in this field."
Journal of Medicinal Chemistry

"This book contains a series of well written articles."
Chemistry World

"... an interesting and valuable resource for those who wish to learn more about the progress and challenges that face the emerging field of bioorganometallic chemistry."
Journal of the American Chemical Society

"... It is worth emphasising that this is the first book devoted to the subject of bioorganometallic chemistry. Is is also noteworthy that this book ist not just a bioorganometrallic version of a bioorganic textbook; in fact, the emphasis of this book is quite different. It is directed much more towards the medicinal allpications of bioorganometallics compounds (although not exclusivley), from the cisplatin-like compounds that are remarkably effective without containing an obvious biological ligand to determince activity, through those which are closer to organic drugs, with an organometallic apendage providing unique and benefical properties, to those where the metal imparts a unique property as in radiopharmaceuticals. ..."
