In the field of electroorganic synthesis, for example, selectivity has been improved by use of electrogenerated reagents, energy uptake lowered and space-time yields have been improved by using mediated reactions. In addition, electroorganic chemistry has been efficiently applied to the synthesis of key building blocks for complex molecules and has established its role as a new tool in organic synthesis. However electrochemistry has also found new and interesting applications in quite different fields of chemistry. Photo- electrochemistry, as one example, is not only valuable for transformations of organic molecules but also for the veriym portant goal of energy conversion. More insight has been gained in the processes occurring on illuminated semiconductor electrodes and micro particles. Designing the composition of electrode surfaces can lead to the selective activation of electrodes. Electrochemical sensors and techniques present new opportunities for the analysis of biological compounds in medicine and biology. Research in the field of conducting polymers is very intensive because of interesting potential applications. Therefore I am very happy that Springer-Verlag has decided to account for these important developments by introducing a series of volumes on new trends in electrochemistry within its series Topics in Current Chemistry. The guest editor is very happy and thankful that well-known experts who are actively engaged in research in these fields have agreed to contribute to the volumes. It is hoped that this collection of reviews is not only valuable to investigators in the respective fields but also to many chemists who are not so familiar with electrochemistry. Bonn, Mai 1987 Eberhard Steckhan Preface to Volume V After an intermission of 4 years, the editor of the electrochemistry series in Topics in Current Chemistry has felt the necessity to cover recent important developments in the field of organic and bioorganic electrochemistry in a fifth volume. The four contributions demonstrate typical directions of current research in organic electrochemistryw hich can be described as: Improvement of selectivity by using heteroatom functionalities - for the control of the electrochemistry and reactivity during electrochemical transformations; improvement of regio- and enantioselectivity by using electro- - enzymatic redoxreactions; environmental protection by use of electrochemical procedures. - The first two contributions deal withe lemental organic chemistry andt he demand for highly selective processes to generate complex organic compounds. In both cases, heteroatomic functionss uch as fluorine substituents or silyl groups together with oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur functions are applied for the activation of the molecules and the introduction of selectivity. Thus, electrochemical methods for the conversion and functionalization of fluoro-organic and organosilicium compounds are described. The third contribution presents the combination of electrochemistry anedn zymatic synthesis for the selective formation of complex molecules. This quite young field of research is developing rapidly because the application of the reagent-free electrochemical procedure combined with the regio- and stereoselectivity of enzymes offers the possibility of establishing new environmentally friendly process even on a technical scale. The aspect of environmental protection by usinge lectrochemical methods is also stressed in the last contribution. Electrochemistry not only offers new methods for waste treatment (curative environ- mental protection) but even more important also the possibility of preventing waste formation by using electrochemical production processes (preventive environmental protection). In the latter case, even closed systems can be developed much easier than with other techniques. In this context, electrochemistry is a very promising field of research and future applications may be foreseen.
