This book provides a comprehensive summary and critical overview of a topic in organometallic chemistry. Research in this rapidly developing transdisciplinary field is having profound influence on other areas of scientific investigation, ranging from catalytic organic synthesis to biology, medicine and material science. The book is complemented by a review of metallodendritic exoreptors for the redox recognition of oxo-anions and halides.
