Filling the gap for a comprehensive handbook and ready reference, this book covers all modern developments withinthe field, including biochemical aspects. The chemistry chapters are organized according to the different reactivities of various seleniumcompounds and reagents, with each chapter dealing with a special reaction type. Also includes a table with 77Se NMR shifts to aid in practical problems. From the Contents:
