![]() ![]() In low-oxidation-state ruthenium chemistry, renewed interest in photovoltaic cells is generating a resurgence in chemistry. Much iron coordination chemistry is designed to further understand biomimetic aspects. ![]() Our understanding of the roles which iron can play in biological systems and the subtle chemical control over iron metabolism has increased enormously since 1987 and they represent beautiful aspects of applied coordination chemistry. It would be invidious to pick any particular area of activity in the chemistry of these elements for particular attention, but very significant advances have been made in many aspects of the coordination chemistry of iron, ruthenium, and osmium. However, the coverage in these two chapters gives an excellent overview of the primary literature since 1982 and leads the reader naturally to the important review literature for these elements. Similar constraints apply to the coverage of ruthenium and osmium in both high and low oxidation states. A comprehensive coverage of the chemistry of iron over this period would be impossible and the authors have done an admirable job in selecting the most important papers in the primary literature and have made extensive reference to the review literature to give as broad an overview as possible. Iron, Ruthenium, and Osmium The coverage for iron commences in 1984–1985 and aims to provide a broad-based introduction to important advances in the chemistry of this element over the past 20 years. The potential role of radioactive rhenium complexes for therapy is a comparatively recent theme, and is again placed against the backdrop of a systematic account of the fundamental coordination chemistry of the element. ![]() For technetium much of the literature is closely linked to the applications of 99m–Tc complexes in diagnostic nuclear medicine and the development of first- and second-generation agents is placed in the context of the reported coordination chemistry. The biological role of manganese has been a significant driving force for recent studies of its coordination chemistry and this area is treated in some detail, as are the uses of manganese complexes for selective oxidations. Manganese, Technetium, and Rhenium The coverage for manganese and rhenium is from 1982, whereas for technetium the earlier literature is included, as technetium did not feature in CCC (1987). The material for each element is organized by oxidation state of the metal and also by the nature of the ligands involved, with additional sections covering special features of the coordination chemistry and applications of the complexes.
