Highlights from the Fifth Edition:

Coverage of the electrochemistry of buckminsterfullerene and related compounds, electroenzymatic synthesis, conducting polymers, and electrochemical fluorination

Systematic examination of electrochemical transformations of organic compounds, organized according to the type of starting materials

In-depth discussions of carbonyl compounds, anodic oxidation of oxygen-containing compounds, electrosynthesis of bioactive materials, and electrolyte reductive coupling

Features 16 entirely new chapters, with contributions from several new authors who also contribute to extensive revisions throughout the rest of the chapters

Completely revised and updated, Organic Electrochemistry, Fifth Edition explains distinguishing fundamental characteristics that separate organic electrochemistry from classical organic chemistry. It includes descriptions of the most important variants of electron transfers and emphasizes the importance of electron transfers in initiating various electrochemical reactions. The sweeping changes and lengthy additions in the fifth edition testify to the field’s continued and rapid growth in research, practice, and application, and make it a valuable addition to your collection.

About the Author:

Ole Hammerich is an associate professor in the Department of Chemistry, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, where he received his Ph.D. in 1974 and has taught since 1975. His research interests include kinetics and mechanisms of organic radical ion reactions, charge-transfer complexes, and electropolymerization. He is the author or coauthor of more than 110 articles, papers, and book chapters and was, together with Henning Lund, the editor of the fourth edition of Organic Electrochemistry. He was also, with Jens Ulstrup, editor of Bioinorganic Electrochemistry. He served as the National Secretary for Denmark and as the Molecular Electrochemistry chairman in the International Society of Electrochemistry. He is a member of the Danish Electrochemical Society and the Electrochemical Society.

Bernd Speiser is an “auβerplanm�βiger Professor" in the Institut f�r Organische Chemie, Universit�t T�bingen, Germany, where he teaches courses in organic chemistry and molecular electrochemistry. He received his doctoral degree in T�bingen in 1981 and finished his habilitation in 1990. He was a Heisenberg fellow of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft from 1992-1996. His research focuses on the elucidation of reaction mechanisms of organic, organometallic, and inorganic compounds with experimental methods and computer simulations. He has published more than 140 papers, communications, and book chapters. He was the founding chair of Division 6 ("Molecular Electrochemistry") in the International Society of Electrochemistry and is a member of the Electrochemical Society, the International Society of Electrochemistry, the Society of Electroanalytical Chemistry, the Gesellschaft Deutscher Chemiker (GDCh), and DECHEMA Gesellschaft f�r chemische Technik und Biotechnologie.

Review:

"Everything you always wanted to know about organic electrochemistry but were too afraid to ask is in this book. If you have not found what you are looking for, it is almost certain that you have not looked properly and that you should try again. This is now the fifth edition of Organic Electrochemistry in forty odd years and it maintains the same high standard as its predecessors... the present edition was carefully nurtured by a blend of old timers and newcomers of editors and authors. The result is a fifth edition which bears many resemblances to its predecessors but at the same time a significant number of changes and updates have been introduced to the readership. This approach will attract new readers and be a comfort to scientists accustomed to the standard set by the previous editions.

Organic Electrochemistry, Fifth edition will prove to be a vital aid for anyone wishing to undertake an Odyssey through the field of organic electrochemistry."

Praise for the Third Edition
"For nearly 20 years now, 'Baizer and Lund' has had the status of a proven and highly regarded standard work.... This revised and enlarged third edition takes account of the rapid developments occurring in the field...clear and comprehensible. The editors have succeeded in an exemplary way in welding together the individual contributions to make a consistent whole...it impresses through expert and skillful choice of material, and the wealth of helpful advice that is offered...recommended without hesitation...'Lund and Baizer' is certain to be appreciated as a valuable guide and a mine of information that one cannot afford to be without...a must for every library."
―Angewandte Chemie

"This book is definitely an inevitable one for research laboratory libraries and a 'bible' for those who serve in this field...a valuable addition for college and university libraries."
―Bulletin of Electrochemistry

"...a gateway to the literature and a source of ideas...thorough and authoritative...this revised version of Organic Electrochemistry will remain the standard reference book for all those in the field. It will also be welcome and valued reading for all who become drawn to the study of the electrode reactions of organic molecules for the first time."
―Chemistry & Industry

"...an excellent reference.... The editors should be congratulated on a job well done. The authors are first rate and experts in their field. The book is recommended to all interested in the fields of organic as well as electrochemistry."
―Journal of Liquid Chromatography

"(...) the book is extremely easy to read and provides an in-depth introduction to the most important aspects in organic electrochemistry.
