Handbook of Chalcogen Chemistry : Royal Society of Chemistry : 9781849736237 : 1849736235 : 25 Jul 2013 : The Handbook of Chalcogen Chemistry: New Perspectives in Sulfur, Selenium and Tellurium provides an overview of recent developments on the chemistry of the chalcogen group elements (S, Se and Te). The book is organized into two parts, the first of which deals with the chemistry of chalcogens in relation to other group elements in the periodic table. The second part reflects the interdisciplinary nature of chalcogen chemistry and focuses on biological, materials and supramolecular aspects. There will be four new chapters in the second part of the book thus balancing the two parts (theoretical calculations; current research on mimicks and models of selenium-containing antioxidants; the role of sulfur and selenium species in the thyroid and semiconductors). There will also be a new introductory chapter to part one on S, Se and Te comparison. The readership will be chemists, physicists
