Wiley The Chemistry of Metal Phenolates (Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups)

Metal Phenolates open the synthetic chemistry to Phenols and Polyphenols, and are two very important compounds for biological processes such as ageing, signaling and cell repair. All chapters are first published online in Patai’s Chemistry of Functional Groups, and once a volume is completed online, it is published in print format. As expected from this series each volume treats all aspects of functional groups with extensive lists of contributors, author and subject indices. Review “In conclusion, anyone who is interested in metal complexes with respect to both structural aspects and catalytic applications will benefit greatly from the contents of The Chemistry of Metal Phenolates.  The book provides an excellent overview of the topic and is definitely of great value and constitutes an excellent addition to the existing Patai Series.”  (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 1 November 2015) About the Author Jacob Zabicky is an emeritus professor at Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Beer Sheva, Israel. Earning his Ph.D. in Organic Chemistry with Saul Patai in the 1950s, he has since worked and taught at many different institutions in Israel, the UK, Venezuela, Germany, Spain, South Africa, and the USA. Prof. Zabicky is currently a lecturer at the Jerusalem College of Engineering and a member of the steering committee for the Israeli Center for Powder Technology. He has edited volumes in the Patai Series since the 1970s, the most recent ones on the subjects of metal enolates and metal phenolates.
