Organosilanes in Radical Chemistry (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780471498704)

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 ofradical 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/orsilicon chemistry as well as for those who want to approach these fields for the first time.
