Description
New Age International (P) Ltd., Publishers Metal And Non-Metal Biguanide Complexes by Ranajit Kumar Ray, Dr. George B. Kauffman
In this short but authoritative book, Drs. Ray and Kauffman succinctly review all important studies on complexes of biguanide and its derivatives published since Priyadaranjan Rays Classical Chemical Review article by giving special attention to synthesis, properties, magnetism, spectroscopy, reactions, kinetics, structures and applications. This book is the only one of its kind. The structures of the ligands and their complexes as revealed by magnetic moments, electronic spectra, EPR and X-ray crystallography have been considered.
The books references which number more than four hundred should give practising scientists ready access to the crucial details needed for research and development on these theoretically and practically significant compounds. As such, it provides data that widely scattered is in scientific literatures in a single handy source book. This book is heartily recommend to inorganic, organic, medical and pharmaceutical chemists, as well as to anyone concerned with this unique class of ligands and their complexes with a wide variety of elements of varying oxidation states and coordination numbers.
