The field of Bioinorganic Chemistry has grown significantly inrecent years; now one of the major sub-disciplines of InorganicChemistry, it has also pervaded other areas of the life sciencesdue to its highly interdisciplinary nature.
Bioinorganic Chemistry: Inorganic Elements in the Chemistryof Life, Second Edition provides a detailed introduction to therole of inorganic elements in biology, taking a systematicelement-by-element approach to the topic. The second edition ofthis classic text has been fully revised and updated to include newstructure information, emerging developments in the field, and anincreased focus on medical applications of inorganic compounds. Newtopics have been added including materials aspects of bioinorganicchemistry, elemental cycles, bioorganometallic chemistry, medicalimaging and therapeutic advances.
Topics covered include:

Professor Dr Wolfgang Kaim, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany
Wolfgang Kaim was born in 1951 near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and studied chemistry at the universities of Frankfurt and Konstanz. After obtaining his PhD with H. Bock in 1978 he spent a postdoctoral year with F.A. Cotton at the University of Texas A&M University. In 1987 he moved from the University of Frankfurt to a Full Professorship at the University of Stuttgart. His main research interests focus on the charge and electron transfer reactivity of molecular compounds and various aspects of coordination chemistry.
Dr Brigitte Schwederski, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany
Brigitte Schwederski was born in 1959 in Recklinghausen, Germany. From 1977 to 1983 she studied chemistry and biology at the University of Bochum and in 1988 completed her PhD in the research group of Dale W. Margerum at Purdue University, Indiana. Since 1988 she has been a Research Assistant at the University of Stuttgart. Her main research interests include inorganic model complexes of bioinorganic systems, their characteristics and reactivity.
Professor Dr. Axel Klein, Universitaet zu Koeln, Institut fuer Anorganische Chemie, Germany
Axel Klein is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Cologne, Germany. His research interests lie in the preparation and investigation of novel coordination compounds including organometallic derivatives, aiming at the rational design, preparation and use of coordination units with specific properties in mononuclear or oligonuclear complexes or as part of materials.
