Innovation today . . . Practice tomorrow. PROGRESS in Inorganic Chemistry Today's cutting-edge chemical experimentation is a foretaste of thetechnical arsenal of tomorrow's chemist. Progress in InorganicChemistry affords instant and convenient access to every area ofinnovative chemical research and has long served as theprofessional chemist's index to the newest and influential turns ininorganic chemistry. Featuring the work of internationally renownedchemists, Volume 45 discusses:* Selective Recognition of Organic Molecules by Metallohosts (JamesW. Canary and Bruce C. Gibb, New York University)* Metallacrowns: A New Class of Molecular Recognition Agents(Vincent L. Pecoraro, Ann J. Stemmler, Brian R. Gibney, Jeffrey J.Bodwin, Hsin Wang, Jeff W. Kampf, and Almut Barwinski, Universityof Michigan)* The Interpretation of Ligand Field Parameters (Adam J. Bridgemanand Malcolm Gerloch, University Chemical Laboratories)* Chemistry of Transition Metal Cyanide Compounds: ModernPerspectives (Kim R. Dunbar and Robert A. Heintz, Michigan StateUniversity)* Assembling Sugars and Metals: Novel Architectures andReactivities in Transition Metal Chemistry (Umberto Piarulli andCarlo Floriani, University of Lausanne)* Oxygen Activation Mechanism at the Binuclear Site of Heme-CopperOxidase Superfamily as Revealed by Time-Resolved Resonance RamanSpectroscopy (Teizo Kitagawa and Takashi Ogura, Institute forMolecular Science) "This series is distinguished not only by its scope and breadth,but also by the depth and quality of the reviews." --Journal of theAmerican Chemical Society "This series is a valuable addition to the library of thepracticing research chemist, and is a good starting point forstudents wishing to understand modern inorganic chemistry."--Canadian Chemical News "[This series] has won a deservedly honored place on the bookshelfof the chemist attempting to keep afloat in the torrent of originalpapers on inorganic chemistry." --Chemistry in Britain
