Click Chemistry : In Chemistry, Biology and Macromolecular Science

This timely and much-needed publication highlights the advantages and limitations of the click approach, making this information available in one "easy-to-digest" volume. Edited by the pioneers in the field and with a list of authors reading like the "Who's Who" of click chemistry, the book assembles reviews from practitioners who have used this technique in their research. They span the fields of metal-catalyzed transformations, medicinal and bioorganic chemistry, materials and polymer science. Equally important for beginners and experienced researchers, this is the definite, first and only reference source for everyone working in the field. With a preface by Nobel prizewinner Barry Sharpless, the father of click chemistry.
