Systems Chemistry propagating organization

The field of modified electrodes spans a wide area of novel and promising research. The work dted in this article covers fundamental experimental aspects of electrochemistry such as the rate of electron transfer reactions and charge propagation within threedimensional arrays of redox centers and the distances over which electrons can be transferred in outer sphere redox reactions. Questions of polymer chemistry such as the study of permeability of membranes and the diffusion of ions and neutrals in solvent swollen polymers are accessible by new experimental techniques. There is hope of new solutions of macroscopic as well as microscopic electrochemical phenomena the selective and kinetically facile production of substances at square meters of modified electrodes and the detection of trace levels of substances in wastes or in biological material. Technical applications of electronic devices based on molecular chemistry, even those that mimic biological systems of impulse transmission appear feasible and the construction of organic polymer batteries and color displays is close to industrial use. 

As can be seen from those simple examples, chemical monitoring of VOCs based on determination of their trace amounts (from parts per million [ppm] to parts per trillion [ppt]) with the use of modem analytical methods is necessary. It is a consequence of the ease with which VOCs permeate biological barriers (air-circulatory system, the internal and external activities of both plant and animal cells), and the relative ease with which they undergo conjugation reactions (enzymatic oxidation reactions, auto-oxidation, initiation, propagation, and termination). Therefore, new metabolites are created. These metabolites not only determine phenomena connected with the chemistry of the atmosphere but also are responsible for the vital functions of organisms (e.g., the uncontrolled de novo reaction that occurs in the presence of free radicals) (Fig. 14.2) [4].
