Organic Electrochemistry: Fundamentals, Modern Concepts, and Methods offers a comprehensive perspective on the essentials, methodologies, and practical applications of electrochemistry in organic chemistry. Addressing fundamental principles and applied aspects arising from the convergence of electrochemistry and organic chemistry, the book strives to deliver a broad theoretical foundation. It meticulously outlines methods and applications, catering to the interests of researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students in these domains. With a focus on 'clean' preparative organic chemistry, sections explore the potential of electrosynthesis and elucidates the information offered by electrochemical methods, including their role in processes of biological relevance.
Additionally, it sheds light on the capabilities of electroanalytical techniques and underscores the importance of the electrochemistry of novel materials, such as organic-inorganic hybrids, organic polymers, and metal-organic frameworks in advancing the frontier of Organic Chemistry.
