Bioinorganic Vanadium Chemistry addresses the major aspects of vanadium chemistry related to living organisms and the mutual impact between biological and inorganic vanadium chemistry. A broad section is dedicated to implications forenvironmental and health aspects, and the potential use of vanadium compoundsin therapy and diagnosis. By providing in-depth discussion of the field, Bioinorganic Vanadium Chemistry conveys the essential aspects of vanadium bioinorganic chemistry, making this book a valuable complement to more general bioinorganic chemistry texts and more specialized topical reviews for researchers andstudents alike.
