Summary
"This book is devoted to the field of biomimetic oxidations using transition metal complexes." "The volume is directed towards chemists (both in academic and industrial institutions) engaged in organic synthesis, coordination chemistry and chemical or enzymatic catalysis. We hope that students will enjoy the reading of this book after an initial academic background of two to three years."--Jacket
