A detailed, up-to-date review of transition metal-containingpolymers
Promising advances in the electrical, optical, magnetic,biological, and catalytic properties that metal-containing polymerspossess have led to notable expansion in the field of transitionmetal-containing polymers. Frontiers in TransitionMetal-Containing Polymers provides a comprehensive, up-to-datereview of the synthesis, properties, and applications of transitionmetal-containing polymers, including an overview of the historicaldevelopment of these types of polymers.
Written by the leading researchers in the field, this thoroughvolume covers the routes to organometallic and coordinationpolymers, as well as characterization and applications oftransition metal-containing monomers and polymers. Other topicsdiscussed include:
* Metallo-supramolecular coordination polymers based on nitrogenligands
* Coordination polymers based on phosphorus ligands
* Polypeptide-based metallobiopolymers and DNA-basedmetallopolymers
* Metallodendrimers
* Self-assembly of metal-containing block copolymers
* Applications including drug delivery, optics, moleculardevices, sensors, conductive materials, and more
