Aims and Scope
The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and
future trends in modern chemical research. The scope of coverage includes all areas of
chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology,
medicine and materials science.
The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether at the
university or in industry, a comprehensive overview of an area where new insights are
emerging that are of interest to larger scientific audience.
Thus each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and
places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant
developments of the last 5 to 10 years should be presented. A description of the
laboratory procedures involved is often useful to the reader. The coverage should not
be exhaustive in data, but should rather be conceptual, concentrating on the
methodological thinking that will allow the non-specialist reader to understand the
information presented.
Discussion of possible future research directions in the area is welcome.
Review articles for the individual volumes are invited by the volume editors.
Readership: research chemists at universities or in industry, graduate students.
