Ion-Radical Organic Chemistry: Principles and Applications, Second Edition

Consolidating knowledge from a number of disciplines, this treatise presents the recent changes that have occurred in the field since the publication of the first edition. The theme is the formation, transformation, and application of ion-radicals in typical conditions of organic synthesis. Avoiding complex mathematics, the book explains the principles of ion-radical organic chemistry and presents an overview of organic ion-radical reactions. Methods of determining ion-radical mechanisms and controlling ion-radical reactions are also reviewed. Wherever applicable, issues relating to ecology and biomedical concerns are addressed, and inorganic participants of the ion-radical organic reactions are also considered. The book concludes with practical applications and a future outlook.
