The authors – noted experts in the field – offer an authoritative review of the actinide and transactinide elements, i.e., the elements from actinium to lawrencium as well as rutherfordium through organesson, the current end of the periodic table, element 118.</p> <p>The text explores the history of the metals, their occurrence and issues of production, and covers a broad range of chemical subjects including environmental concerns and remediation approaches. The authors also offer information on the most recent and emerging applications of the metals, such as in superconducting materials, catalysis, and research into medical diagnostics. This important resource:</p> <ul> <li>Provides an overview of the science and advanced technological uses of the actinide and transactinide metals</li> <li>Describes the basic chemical and physical properties of the heaviest metals, and discusses the challenges and opportunities for their technological applications</li> <li>Contains accessible information on the fundamental features of the heaviest metals, special requirements for their experimental study, and the critical role of computational characterization of their compounds</li> <li>Highlights the most current and emerging applications in areas such as superconducting materials, catalysis, nuclear forensics, and medicine</li> <li>Presents vital contemporary issues of the heaviest metals</li> </ul> <p>Written for graduate students and researchers working with the actinide and transactinide elements, industrial and academic inorganic and nuclear chemists, and engineers, <i>The Heaviest Metals </i>is a comprehensive volume that explores the fundamental chemistry and properties of the heaviest metals, and the challenges and opportunities associated with their present and emerging technological uses.</p>

The resulting combination proves to be the defining reference work in the field of inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, and a lot of chemistry libraries around the world have access to the online version. Many readers, however, prefer to have more concise thematic volumes in print, targeted to their specific area of interest. This feedback from EIBC readers has encouraged the Editors to plan a series of EIBC Books [formerly called EIC Books], focusing on topics of current interest. <p>EIBC Books will appear on a regular basis, will be edited by the EIBC Editors and specialist Guest Editors, and will feature articles from leading scholars in their fields. EIBC Books aim to provide both the starting research student and the confirmed research worker with a critical distillation of the leading concepts in inorganic and bioinorganic chemistry, and provide a structured entry into the fields covered. <p><b>Have the content of this Volume and the complete contents of the</b> <b><i>Encyclopedia of Inorganic and Bioinorganic Chemistry</i></b><b> at your fingertips!
