About this title

Synopsis

Recent significant developments in sensor science and technology, such as the design of ultramicroelectrodes and arrays, are providing considerable stimulation in research. This book offers insight into the various extended applications and developments of N4 macrocycle complexes in the field of biomimetic electrocatalysis. Chapters are devoted to the chemistry, electronic and electrochemical properties of porphyrin- based polymetallated supramolecular redox catalysts and their applications in analytical and photoelectrochemical molecular devices; the use of porphyrins, phthalocyanines and related complexes as electrocatalysts for the detection of a wide variety of environmentally polluting and biologically relevant molecules; and the use electropolymerized metalloporphyrin and metallophthalocyanine films as powerful materials for analytical tools, especially for sensing biologically relevant species.

Review

From the reviews:

"This is an excellent and detailed book of 14 chapters that is timely in its reviews of the electrochemical and electrocatalytic properties of the porphyrinoids and is written by a range of experts in the different fields covered. ... this is an exciting book to read. It would be a really useful book to have in the laboratory library. The chapters are detailed and informative with excellent tables and figures ... ." (Martin Stillman, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 129 (5), 2007)
