Elements of Molecular and Biomolecular Electrochemistry (eBook, PDF)

An Electrochemical Approach to Electron Transfer Chemistry

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is based on the George Fisher Baker Lecture given by Jean-Michel Savéant at Cornell University in Fall 2002. * The first book focusing on molecular electrochemistry * Relates to other fields, including photochemistry and biochemistry * Outlines clearly the connection between concepts, experimental illustrations, proofs and supporting methods * Appendixes to provide rigorous demonstrations to prevent an overload of algebra in the main text * Applications-oriented, focused on analyzing the results obtained rather than the methodology
