Covering the gap between basic textbooks and over-specialized scientific publications, this is the first reference available to describe this interdisciplinary topic for PhD students and scientists starting in the field.
The result is an introductory description providing suitable practical examples of the basic methods used to study tautomeric processes, as well as the theories describing the tautomerism and proton transfer phenomena. It also includes different spectroscopic methods for examining tautomerism, such as UV-VIs, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy, and NMR spectroscopy, plus the theoretical and practical background information.
With its excellent overview of the methods, theories and examples, this is the perfect guide for any scientist dealing with tautomeric compounds in a wider context.

About the Author
Liudmil Antonov is a Professor of Analytical and Physical Organic Chemistry at Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. Having obtained MSc (1989) and PhD (1994) degree from University of Sofia, he spent 1 year at Tokyo Institute of Technology before taking an appointment at University of Forestry (UF) in Sofia. In 1998 he was appointed as youngest in Bulgaria Associated Professor in Analytical Chemistry and from 1999 to 2002 headed the Department of Chemistry UF. After stays at AIST (Japan, 2002, 2006) as JSPS Fellow and at Humboldt University of Berlin (2003-2004) as Alexander von Humboldt Fellow and work for European Commission as reviewer and panel member (Directorate General for Research, 2001-2005) he joined Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in 2007. He has authored 83 research papers in the fields of tautomerism, dye chemistry, new materials, chemometrics, and instrumental analysis, cited over 1200 times.
