Much new data concerning the behavior
of organic ion-radicals has developed in the past few years. Consolidating
knowledge from a number of disciplines, Ion-Radical Organic Chemistry:
Principles and Applications, Second Edition presents the recent changes that have
occurred in the field since the publication of the first edition in 2003.
This volume examines the formation,
transformation, and application of ion-radicals in typical conditions of
organic synthesis. Avoiding complex mathematics, the author explains the
principles of ion-radical organic chemistry and presents an overview of organic
ion-radical reactions. He reviews methods of determining ion-radical mechanisms
and controlling ion-radical reactions. Wherever applicable, the text addresses
issues relating to ecology and biomedical concerns as well as inorganic
participants of the ion-radical organic reactions.
After reviewing the nature of organic
ion-radicals and their ground-state electronic structure, the book discusses
their formation, the relationship between electronic structure and reactivity,
mechanism and regulation of reactions, stereochemical aspects, synthetic
opportunities, and practical applications. Additional topics include electronic
and opto-electronic devices, organic magnets and conductors, lubricants, other
materials, and reactions of industrial or biomedical importance.
The book concludes by providing an
outlook on possible future development in this field. Researchers and
practitioners engaged in active work on synthetic or mechanistic organic
chemistry and its practical applications will find this text to be invaluable
in both its scope and its depth.
