Review
"This volume will make its creators fell well-deserved pride." (Journal of Metals Online, July 21, 2005)
"…provides a nice overview of the field…" (Polymer News, June 2005)
"…a good representative treatment of current biological and medicinal applications of organometallic polymers." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, March 31, 2005)
Book Description
Metal and metalloid-containing compounds exhibit a wide range of biological and biocidal activities, some of which have been employed in medicines and drugs. Polymers containing metal or metalloid functions become a natural extension of this effort; just as organic compound drugs have been chemically bound to polymers or physically imbibed into polymer matrices in order to provide a variety of useful advantages, the same opportunities exist for using metal and metalloid species. This volume covers important biomedical applications of organometallic compounds, including metal-labeled DNA on surfaces, artificial metallo-DNA, organotin molecules as anti-cancer drugs, and much more.
