Charles E. Carraher

Charles U. Pittman

This important work is based on the editors’ symposium at the 2005 ACS meeting in Washington, DC. The contents include an emphasis on main-group polymers, including boron. The chapters are not simply journal articles, but have real added value as the editors have reviewed the general area by placing the work into a larger perspective. This book will be required reading for scientists in a number of disciplines including chemical engineers and physics researchers.

Design and Applications

Inorganic and Organometallic Macromolecules

This book series Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-like Elements brings new concepts and developments in the titled area of research. Volume 9 focuses attention on the area of supramolecular chemistry, supramolecular architecture and supramolecular self-assemblies that involve materials containing metals and metal-like elements and the potential applications of these interesting hybrid materials.

Metal and metalloid-containing compounds exhibit a wide range ofbiological and biocidal activities, some of which have beenemployed in medicines and drugs. Polymers containing metal ormetalloid functions become a natural extension of this effort; justas organic compound drugs have been chemically bound to polymers orphysically imbibed into polymer matrices in order to provide avariety of useful advantages, the same opportunities exist forusing metal and metalloid species. This volume will cover importantbiomedical applications of organometallic compounds, includingmetal-labeled DNA on surfaces, artificial metallo-DNA, organotinmolecules as anti-cancer drugs, and much more. * Provides useful descriptions of biomedical applications for thereader to apply in his/her research into materials, polymers, andmedicine/drug development. * Edited by high-quality team of macromolecular experts from aroundthe world

Biomedical Applications

Macromolecules Containing Metal and Metal-Like Elements, Volume 3

Pierre D. Harvey

Metal- and metalloid-containing macromolecules are defined as large molecules (i.e., polymers, DNA, proteins) that contain a metal or metalloid group affiliated with the molecule. This volume describes what is possible with metal-containing polymers where the metal is an essential ingredient in obtaining desired optical and electronic properties. Covering applications in nonlinear optical materials, solar cells, light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, field-effect transistors, chemosensing devices, and biosensing devices, this indispensible guide focuses on the photochemistry and photophysics of metal-containing polymers, with chapters by leading contributors to the core advances in this field.
