Metal Phenolates open the synthetic chemistry to Phenols and Polyphenols, and are two very important compounds for biological processes such as ageing, signaling and cell repair. All chapters are first published online in Patai s Chemistry of Functional Groups, and once a volume is completed online, it is published in print format.
