This series deals with important aspects of oxygen-chemistry in the organic, bio-organic and biochemical areas. Contributions are made by internationally recognized experts and focus on resarch under active investigation in the author's own laboratory. Each chapter contains up-to-date references and places the author's research in perspective to relevant findings by other investigators.
