Overview

Organic Electrochemistry: Fundamentals, Modern Concepts, and Methods offers a comprehensive perspective on the essentials, methodologies, and practical applications of electrochemistry in organic chemistry. Addressing fundamental principles and applied aspects arising from the convergence of electrochemistry and organic chemistry, the book strives to deliver a broad theoretical foundation. It meticulously outlines methods and applications, catering to the interests of researchers, practitioners, and postgraduate students in these domains. With a focus on 'clean' preparative organic chemistry, sections explore the potential of electrosynthesis and elucidates the information offered by electrochemical methods, including their role in processes of biological relevance. Additionally, it sheds light on the capabilities of electroanalytical techniques and underscores the importance of the electrochemistry of novel materials, such as organic-inorganic hybrids, organic polymers, and metal-organic frameworks in advancing the frontier of Organic Chemistry.

He is reviewer of the European Research Council and national research agencies of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, Flanders, France, Kazakhstan, Poland, Romania, Spain, Swiss, and The Netherlands, and referee of more than 180 indexed journals. José Heráclito Zagal (Talca, Chile 1949) is a Distinguished Professor, Faculty of Chemistry and Biology of the University of Santiago de Chile. He got his first degree in Chemistry from the University of Chile in 1973 and his Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University, (USA) in 1978. He was a postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Energy, Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York in 1982. In 1992 he received the Presidential Chair in Science Award from the President of Chile. In 2014 he became Fellow of The International Society of Electrochemistry and Fellow of The Electrochemical Society. In 2018 he became a Fellow of The Royal Society of Chemistry and Emeritus Member of The Electrochemical Society. He received the “Dr.Arevalo”Award from the Latin American Society of Electrochemistry in 2021. He is an active Member of the Academy of Sciences of Latin America (ACAL) of the Chilean Academy of Sciences and of the Academy of Sciences of New York. He belongs to several Editorial Boards. He has published over 280 papers and 4 books with more than 12164 citations and an h-index of 61 in Google Scholar, July 2023. His research interests are focused in establishing structure-reactivity relationships of metal complexes as molecular catalysts for electrochemical reactions. He has developed several reactivity descriptors for these non-noble metal catalysts.
