Preface

The chemistry of cobalt compounds has attracted attention in recent years due to its applications in biological systems as antimicrobial agents and antibacterial agents. To design new drugs, medical chemistry can take advantage of the properties of cobalt ions and compounds. Cobalt studies continue because of their wide range of functions and applications in pharmaceutical technology. These studies have led to the emergence of medical bioorganometallic chemistry and the expansion of medical inorganic chemists. Studies in this field have led to new and difficult questions to date and this will continue. A recent literature review showed that many new cobalt compounds have been used in many different areas as scientists are seeking

This book presents knowledge of the new cobalt compounds that can be used in many different applications for scientists, engineers, and students. The chapters include novel approaches of cobalt, nanostructured cobalt, new catalysts in some

We hope that the book will shed light on new horizons for scientists, engineers, and
