Transition Metals : Characteristics, Properties and Uses

In this book, the authors present topical research in the study of the characteristics, properties and uses of transition metals. Topics discussed include the nonlinear optical properties of transition metal nanoparticles synthesized by ion implantation; the structural and magnetic characterization of Cu-Picolinate and Cu-Quinaldinate molecular systems; application of transition metals as active compounds in separation techniques; the reactivity of unstable chemicals in the presence of transition metals and the bioinorganic and redox reactions in biological systems of transition metals.
