Review: This book considers ion radicals from an organic chemist’s point of view. It looks at all aspects of ion radical solution chemistry, from the theoretical description of ion radical structures to the basic reagents that are used generate them, methods for characterizing them, and the synthetic methods that are based on ion radicals. Also, covered in depth, are how to study and identify reactions proceeding through ion radicals, and how to optimise the yield of such reactions. There is a whole chapter on solvent effects. The practical applications of ion radicals, including their roles in biological systems and materials chemistry, ranging from optoelectronics, organic metals, and magnets to lubricants and the manufacture of paper are included.
