This volume, closely related to MILS-6, deals mainly with metal(loid)-alkyl derivatives but also with the rarer aryl compounds. Most of these (commonly toxic) compounds are formed in the environment by microorganisms, but some anthropogenic input occurs as well. MILS-7, providing a most up-to-date view, is of special relevance for researchers in analytical and bioinorganic chemistry, enzymology, environmental chemistry, physiology, toxicology, and related medical fields.

From the reviews: ‘…is a must for most bioinorganic research labs.’ (Peter Sadler, Chemistry World, June, 2009). These sulfur-rich chelators, being important in metal ion homeostasis, find increasing attention. Metallothioneins and Related Chelators written by 30 internationally recognized experts, focuses on this hot topic. The reader is supported by about 20 tables, more than 80 illustrations and nearly 2000 references.

The occurrence of a wide variety of metal-carbon bonds in living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans, is only recently recognized. Of course, the historical examples are the B12 coenzymes containing cobalt-carbon bonds, but now such bonds are also known for nickel, iron, copper, and other transition metal ions. There is no other comparable book. Metal-Carbon Bonds in Enzymes and Cofactors, Volume 6, written by 17 experts, summarizes the most recent insights into this fascinating topic.
