Description

Phosphonate Chemistry, Technology, and Applications: Synthesis, Chemistry, and Biomedical Applications gathers important up-to-date information on several modern topics, including the synthetic aspects and chemical transformations of phosphonic acids and their metal derivatives, metal phosphonate hybrid materials, optical properties of metal phosphonates, phosphonate-based systems for calcium-related disorders, metal-bisphosphonates as controlled release systems, biology of phosphonates and a plethora of biomedical applications.

This comprehensive volume is the first part of a 2-volume set. It covers extensively the latest developments in phosphonate chemistry and includes crucial bibliographic information. It explores the constantly expanding world of organic phosphonate compounds and metal phosphonate networks, beyond conventional boundaries. This exploration includes diverse applications derived from these compounds, enhancing the reader's grasp of this dynamic and evolving field.

Key features

  • Presents several elements of phosphonate chemistry and technology in one source
  • Promotes an interdisciplinarity approach to different aspects of phosphonate chemistry
  • Covers systematic and concise presentation of the state-of-the-art developments
