Many organic and inorganic compounds, fibers, and particles are capable of damaging nucleic acids by generating reactive oxygen species via the reduction of dioxygen. These stimuli include different classes of organic compounds, classic prooxidants (anticancer antibiotics, various quinones, asbestos fibers, and so on), and even antioxidants, which can be oxidized in the presence of transition metal ions. 

Several insulating inorganic solids possessing sheet structures, for example, silicates belonging to the pyrophyllite family (Thomas, 1982), and acid phosphates (Alberti Constantino, 1982 Clearfield, 1981) of some tetravalent metals form intercalation compounds with a variety of donor molecules in these cases, intercalation does not involve a redox process, unlike in the cases of transition metal chalcogenides and... 

The first step in the transition metal-catalyzed reaction of an organic compound is an electronic exchange that corresponds to an acid-base interaction between the inorganic catalyst and organic substrate corn-... 

The chemistry of coordination compounds is a broad area of inorganic chemistry that has as its central theme the formation of coordinate bonds. A coordinate bond is one in which both of the electrons used to form the bond come from one of the atoms, rather than each atom contributing an electron to the bonding pair, particularly between metal atoms or ions and electron pair donors. Electron pair donation and acceptance result in the formation of a coordinate bond according to the Lewis acid-base theory (see Chapter 5). However, compounds such as H3N BC13 will not be considered as coordination compounds, even though a coordinate bond is present. The term molecular compound or adduct is appropriately used to describe these complexes that are formed by interaction of molecular Lewis acids and bases. The generally accepted use of the term coordination compound or coordination complex refers to the assembly that results when a metal ion or atom accepts pairs of electrons from a certain number of molecules or ions. Such assemblies commonly involve a transition metal, but there is no reason to restrict the term in that way because nontransition metals (Al3+, Be2+, etc.) also form coordination compounds. 

Much of descriptive inorganic chemistry deals with reactions, so Chapter 4 presents a survey of the most important reaction types and the predictive power of thermodynamics. The utility of acid-base chemistry in classifying chemical behavior is described in Chapter 5. The chemistry of the elements follows in Chapters 6-17 based on the periodic table. The remaining chapters are devoted to the transition metals, coordination chemistry, and organometallic compounds. 

Polyoxometalates (POMs), also known as heteropolyacids (HPA),3 are a class of compounds formed from negatively charged inorganic metal-oxygen building blocks. When charge-balanced with cationic species, POMs self-assemble into unusual 3D structures with specific topological and electronic properties.214 POMs are commonly formed from polyanions of early transition metals such as W, Mo or V. These anions can be substituted with other transition metals. The diversities in POMs composition and structure make them attractive for many applications, particularly as Bronsted acid and redox catalysts. For example,...
