Organometallic Luminescence

Organometallic Luminescence: A Case Study of Alq3, an OLED Reference Material contains many discoveries on Alq3, an important organometallic material to the optoelectronics community that includes insights that can be applied to other organic compounds. The book contains groundbreaking research from the author’s own investigation into the Alq3 material that is based on years of experiments, the results of which initially escaped any logical explanation. The book describes a simple method based on photoluminescence to observe optical properties in Alq3, also covering the optical properties of absorption and long decay from theoretical and experimental perspectives. Considers both theoretical and experimental measurements and an analysis of the optical properties of a key OLED reference material Includes detailed experimental data and a large number of tables and figures Describes and applies the photoluminescence method of considering the optical properties of Alq3 that can be applied to other optoelectronics materials

Providing an invaluable resource, this volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in organometallic and coordination chemistry research and emerging fields. With the increase in volume, velocity and variety of information, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. The reviews range in scope and include recent advances in chromium coordination chemistry, borohydride and borane ligand architectures supported by heterocyclic units and discussion on behaviours of novel ruthenium (II) complexes. This volume is a key reference for researchers in academic and industrial settings.

An up-to-date reference reflecting the significant advances and important breakthroughs made in this emerging discipline over the last decade. As such, the book provides an overview of the latest developments and future trends in the field, focusing on such applications as the development of potentially active organometallic drugs against incurable diseases, as well as in such areas as catalysis, energy, analytical chemistry, and imaging. The renowned editor, who established the term "bioorganometallics", and his international team of experts have put together a valuable resource for researchers in organometallic, inorganic, medicinal, and biochemistry.

Advances in Bioorganometallic Chemistry examines the synthesis, structure and reactivity of bioorganometallics, their pharmaceutical applications, hydrogenase, vitamin B12-like systems, and metalloproteins. It is written by the top researchers in the field and compiled by editors Toshikazu Hirao and Toshiyuki Moriuchi. Developments in this new field of bioorganometallic chemistry, a hybrid between biology and organometallic chemistry, happen very quickly and this comprehensive reference offers the latest research and findings in the field. The book features a discussion of the synthesis, structure, and reactivity of bioorganometallics, and an examination of hydrogenase-like systems, which were designed to demonstrate catalytic activities and functional properties. Advances in Bioorganometallic Chemistry also includes a discussion of bioorganometallics as they relate to medicinal chemistry, specifically applications of metalloproteins, metalloenzymes, and applications in bioimaging. The book concludes with coverage of vitamin B12-like systems, including the latest developments in derivatives designed to perform bio-inspired catalytic reactions. This work is a valuable resource for chemists working in organometallic chemistry and biology, including biochemists, bioorganic chemists, bioinorganic chemists, as well as pharmaceutical scientists, medicinal chemists, and students studying in these areas.
