Electron transfer reactions : inorganic, organometallic, and biological applications /

The book presents an overview of the advances pioneered by Henry Taube over four decades in the mechanisms of electron transfer reactions, charge transfer complexes, and [pi] back-bonding effects in metal-ligand interactions. The application of these principles to diverse areas of chemistry and biol...
