In recent years silicon-centered radicals have played an important role in organic synthesis, polymer chemistry and material sciences. The aim of this book is to offer for the first time a description of silyl radicals within an interdisciplinary context, connecting structural characteristics and chemical properties to their application in different areas of chemistry. The first time different aspects of silyl radicals have been brought together Excellent reference tool for experienced practitioners of radical and/or silicon chemistry Presents various aspects of these intermediates in an original, comprehensive fashion This book is essential for anyone working in free radical and/or silicon chemistry as well as for those who want to approach these fields for the first time.

A comprehensive, five-book set on the chemistry of radicals This Radical Chemistry five-volume set is an essential one for students and researchers. It includes: Organosilanes in Radical Chemistry, The Chemistry of Free Radicals: Peroxyl Radicals, The Chemistry of Free Radicals: N-Centered Radicals, S-Centered Radicals, and General Aspects of the Chemistry of Radicals. Readers of the set will find a description of silyl radicals within an interdisciplinary context and learn about methods of formation and detection of free radicals. They will better understand the implications of the chemistry of peroxyl radicals, the developments of S-centered radical chemistry, and all aspects of N-centered radical chemistry.

Free radicals constitute the most frequently used class of reaction intermediates in organic chemistry. This study describes the structure and reactivity of free radicals, and explores their role in both natural phenomena and in the design of new reaction pathways.

Radical Reactions in Aqueous Media provides a step-wise introduction, taking students from the basic principles of radical reactions through to their applications in industry and their role in biological and environmental processes."--Jacket.
