Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer - A Carrefour Of Chemical Reactivity Traditions

Chemical Reactivity Is Currently Explained In Terms Of Several Diverse Scientific Traditions And Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer (Pcet) Is Central To These Traditions, Together With Quantum Mechanical Tunnelling Of The Electron Particle. This Book Brings Together All These Traditions Through The Authors' Research And Experience. It Covers The Most Recent Developments In The Field Of Pcet Reactions, From The Theoretical And Experimental Points Of View. It Concentrates On The Importance Of Pcet In Biological Systems And For Bioenergetic Conversion, Namely The Oxidation Of Water In Photosystem Ii, To Produce Oxygen, And The Reduction Of Protons To Hydrogen By Hydrogenase, For Energy Storage. Furthermore, The Book Also Brings Together The Most Important Chemical Explanations Employed In This Field.
