Chemistry of Organo-hybrids

Book excerpt: This book provides readers with a one-stop entry into the chemistry of varied hybrids and applications, from a molecular synthetic standpoint • Describes introduction and effect of organic structures on specific support components (carbon-based materials, proteins, metals, and polymers). • Chapters cover hot topics including nanodiamonds, nanocrystals, metal-organic frameworks, peptide bioconjugates, and chemoselective protein modification • Describes analytical techniques, with pros and cons, to validate synthetic strategies • Edited by internationally-recognized chemists from different backgrounds (synthetic polymer chemistry, inorganic surfaces and particles, and synthetic organic chemistry) to pull together diverse perspectives and approaches
