The editors, Lund (emeritus, organic chemistry, Aarhus U., Denmark) and Hammerich (chemistry, U. of Copenhagen), have substantially revised and expanded this basic reference work (originally edited by Bazier). There are two new chapters--on the electrochemistry of C60 compounds and electroenzymatic synthesis--and one-third of the chapters have been rewritten by new authors, these are: carbonyl compounds; anodic oxidation of oxygen-containing compounds; anodic oxidation of sulfur- and selenium-containing compounds; electrosynthesis of bioactive materials (this replaces natural products and pharmaceuticals); organoelemental compounds; reductive coupling; electrochemical partial fluorination; electrogenerated bases; industrial electroorganic chemistry; and conducting polymers. The international group of contributors are all academics in various disciplines in chemistry. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
