Organo Main Group Chemistry: Akiba/Organo Main Group Chemistry

Forging a new association; main group elements and organic chemistry Covering the essentials of all main group elements in organic chemistry, along with the synthesis and reactions of their organic compounds in just one volume, Organo Main Group Chemistry breaks important new ground. While main group chemistry has traditionally been classified as part of inorganic chemistry, this book establishes the organic chemistry of main group elements for the first time. The organic compounds of elements in the second period of the periodic table, which are centered around carbon, are the major components of animals and plants, while those in the third period and below also play key roles worthy of discussion when studying main group element chemistry. The major chapters describe synthesis and reactivity of organic compounds in the third period and below and are arranged according to the order of the periodic table. Starting with the role of lithium and magnesium cations, the chapters reach fluorine and iodine compounds. The first two chapters summarize the unique and common characteristics of main group elements in relation to carbon. The latter chapters deal with modern topics that address the unique characteristics of organo main group compounds. Suitable for professional researchers, chemistry professors, and advanced students, Organo Main Group Chemistry presents a novel new approach to the way we view both main groups and organic chemistry itself.Content: Chapter 1 Main Group Elements and Heteroatoms: Scope and Characteristics (pages 1–24): Chapter 2 Main Group Element Effect (pages 25–61): Chapter 3 Lithium, Magnesium, and Copper Compounds (pages 63–77): Chapter 4 Boron and Aluminum Compounds (pages 79–89): Chapter 5 Silicon, Tin, and Lead Compounds (pages 91–109): Chapter 6 Phosphorus, Antimony, and Bismuth Compounds (pages 111–158): Chapter 7 Sulfur, Selenium, and Tellurium Compounds (pages 159–186): Chapter 8 Organohalogen Compounds: Fluorine and Iodine Compounds (pages 187–200): Chapter 9 Atrane and Transannular Interaction: Formation of Hypervalent Bond (pages 201–211): Chapter 10 Unsaturated Compounds of Main Group Elements of Third Period and Heavier (pages 213–224): Chapter 11 Ligand Coupling Reaction (pages 225–250): Chapter 12 Hypervalent Carbon Compounds: Can Hexavalent Carbon Exist?

Forging a new association; main group elements and organic chemistry

Covering the essentials of all main group elements in organic chemistry, along with the synthesis and reactions of their organic compounds in just one volume, Organo Main Group Chemistry breaks important new ground. While main group chemistry has traditionally been classified as part of inorganic chemistry, this book establishes the organic chemistry of main group elements for the first time.

The organic compounds of elements in the second period of the periodic table, which are centered around carbon, are the major components of animals and plants, while those in the third period and below also play key roles worthy of discussion when studying main group element chemistry.

The major chapters describe synthesis and reactivity of organic compounds in the third period and below and are arranged according to the order of the periodic table. Starting with the role of lithium and magnesium cations, the chapters reach fluorine and iodine compounds. The first two chapters summarize the unique and common characteristics of main group elements in relation to carbon. The latter chapters deal with modern topics that address the unique characteristics of organo main group compounds.

Suitable for professional researchers, chemistry professors, and advanced students, Organo Main Group Chemistry presents a novel new approach to the way we view both main groups and organic chemistry itself.

"This book will capture the essential scope of organic chemistry of all main group elements and covers all main group elements dealing with syntheses and reactions of their organic compounds. While organic compounds of second row elements centered at carbon are the major components of animals and plants, those of the third row and below are also important and have unique roles which this book discusses. The first eight chapters are arranged according to the periodic table, starting with the role of lithium and magnesium cations (positively charged ions) in synthesis to fluorine and iodine compounds. The last four chapters deal with modern topics that were selected on the basis of unique characteristics of main group elements compared to the carbon (i.e. main group element effect is placed as the central idea to arrange and unify.)"-- Provided by publisher This vital resource book captures the essential scope of organic chemistry of all main group elements and covers all main group elements dealing with syntheses and reactions of their organic compounds.
