Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry II (CCC II) is the sequel to what has become a classic in the field, Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry, published in 1987. CCC II builds on the first and surveys new developments authoritatively in over 200 newly comissioned chapters, with an emphasis on current trends in biology, materials science and other areas of contemporary scientific interest.

"This authoritative work, though expensive, will remain valuable for many years. It is appropriate, however, only for graduate-level collections in chemistry where this topic is of particular interest—which can easily be determined by observing the wear on the earlier set. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students."—D. Goodman, Princeton University, CHOICE July 2004
"Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry II provides far more cutting-edge data than any other books on the subject and is the first place to consult before undertaking research in the field. Its informative, critical assessments and suggestions of gaps in existing knowledge make it the primary reference source for chemists from academic, industrial, or governmental laboratories as well as students and other persons interested in coordination chemistry. I heartily recommend it."—George B. Kauffman, California State University, Fresno, CHEMICAL EDUCATOR, Vol. 10, No. 1, 2005
These volumes should be of use to new and established researchers for some years to come. Whatever the content, the enormous lists of literature citations in CCCII are likely to be of value for some years to come. The reviewers concur that the volumes have been produced to a high standard, and that every chemistry library should have a copy available."—G.J. Leigh, University of Sussex, Brighton, JOURNAL OF ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Vol. 689, 2004

Edwin Constable
Professor Edwin (Ed) Constable has been involved in supramolecular chemistry since its inception and has published over 500 research papers and many books. He studied chemistry at St. Catherine’s College, Oxford, completing his Part II with Dr. Morrin Acheson studying acridine intercalators. His doctoral studies were also in Oxford, where he worked with Professor Ken Seddon on the design of metal complexes for solar cells. He then moved to Cambridge where he held sequentially an 1851 research fellowship, a university demonstratorship and lectureship and was a fellow of Darwin and Robinson colleges. In 1993 he accepted a call to the Chair of Inorganic Chemistry in Basel where he remained until 2000 when he returned to the United Kingdom to a Chair of Chemistry in Birmingham. In 2002 he returned to a Chair of Chemistry in Basel. He was Research Dean of the Faculty of Sciences until 2011 when he was appointed Vice Rector for Research. Although his interests and expertise lie in metallosupramolecular and materials chemistry, especially in the use of metal ions for the assembly of novel architectures incorporating specific electronic or photophysical properties, he has a broad interest in multidisciplinary research cutting across conventional boundaries. He received an ERC Advanced Grant (2011–2016) for his project LiLo (Light-In, Light-Out) relating to sustainable materials chemistry and is actively involved in the Swiss Nanoscience Institute. He recently received the 2011 Sustainable Energy Award of the Royal Society of Chemistry. His h-index is 58.
