New Results on the Chemistry of Lichen Substances

Lichen chemistry continues to be a flourishing branch of natural product chemistry. Since the last major review by Elix et al. in volume 35 of this series (274 ) many new and interesting lichen substances have been isolated and synthesized. This suggests
