Recenzje

`... the editor has succeeded in bringing together a large collection of coherent papers on this timely subject. The book thereby constitutes an important, and up-to-date overview of recent efforts to construct complex molecular species and molecular assemblies that allow one to probe into the intricacies of electron transfer and transfer processes.'
`A comprehensive subject index completes this volume that should be on the shelf of everyone interested in this field.'
