Gold Chemistry Applications and Future Directions in the Life Sciences

Written by world-class authors, this most recent major book on the topic highlights new and current trends as well as future directions. It is comprehensive in its scope, covering all aspects of gold chemistry -- from homogeneous to heterogeneous catalysis, from supramolecular assemblies to sensors and medicinal applications. The result is an invaluable work for both organic and inorganic chemists working in universities and industry, as well as material scientists.

Fabian Mohr is Assistant professor ("Juniorprofessor") at the University of Wuppertal in Germany. He obtained his chemistry honours degree and PhD from RMIT University in Australia. Postdoctoral appointments led him to work with Richard Puddephatt (Canada) and Andrei Vedernikov (USA). In 2004 he accepted a research grant from the Spanish Government to work with Mariano Laguna in Zaragoza. Upon completion of his contract there he was invited as a visiting professor to the University of Burgos before he took up his current position in 2006. Fabian has authored more than 30 papers and reviews and is editorial board member of the Open Journal of Inorganic Chemistry.
