Structural work may take its time. Examples are Pseudomonas mendocina (Sect. 2.9) where the first structural data were reported in 2000 and the next pertinent publication appeared in 2008, or Legionella pneumophila (Sect. 4.5) whose legiobactin was first characterized in 2000, further details followed in 2007 and 2009, with loose ends in both cases. Only partially characterized siderophores are mentioned wherever data were available in order to stimulate further work. This would be worthwhile siderophore research is a fascinating branch of natural products chemistry promising sometimes surprising results e.g. 311, 388)).

Iron figures prominently in a review and a book devoted to supramolecular chemistry, especially in the sections dedicated to siderophores, and also appears in various guises in a book on cyclodextrin chemistry. ... 

The physical and coordination chemistry of hydroxamate-based iron chelators, their thermodynamic, kinetic, structural, spectroscopic and surface properties, have been extensively reviewed Therefore, only selective aspects that are relevant for the design of biomimetic siderophore analogs will be discussed.
