Macromolecular Metal Complexes in Nature and Laboratory: A Survey through the Field

Abstract

Based on a very recently published monograph a short overview on macromolecular metal complexes (metal complexes and metals in macromolecules) is given. The understanding of biological system is fundamentally important to construct artificial macromolecular metal complexes. A classification for the various up to now synthesized systems is given, and properties and potential applications are pointed out.
