Perspectives in organometallic chemistry : proceedings of the 20th International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry held in Corfu, Greece on 7-12 July 2002

This product is not available separately, it is only sold as part of a set. There are 750 products in the set and these are all sold as one entity, Organometallic chemistry is an area which touches on, and plays an active role in, all of the traditional divisions of chemistry: inorganic, organic, physical and theoretical. This timely book provides overviews of recent original developments in these areas, including: the synthesis of main group, transition metal and lanthanide organometallics; applications to homogeneous catalysis; structural and theoretical studies; and enantioselective processes. As these topics are currently part of a stream of exciting research with potentially important industrial applications, this title presents informed accounts of state-of-the-art research which will be of great interest to readers. Written by some of the foremost groups in the field and handsomely illustrated throughout, each chapter also provides an extensive bibliography. By introducing areas that are likely to play a prominent role in organometallic chemistry in the near future, Perspectives in Organometallic Chemistry provides an authoritative source of ideas, particularly for all those engaged in research Cover 1 Perspectives in Organometallic Chemistry 3 Preface 7 Contents 9 Group 15 element imido and phosphido cages; Coordination chemistry and synthetic applications 13 Neutral clusters EnRn of the monovalent elements gallium and indium.

Original developments are reviewed in the synthesis of main group, transition metal, and lanthanide organometallics, applications to homogeneous catalysis, structural and theoretical studies, and enantioselective processes. Some specific topics include new titanium imido chemistry with polydentate N-donor ligands, and synthesis and reactivities of multinuclear sulfur-bridged metal complexes. The book is distributed in the US by Springer Verlag. This review details recent developments in the synthesis and coordination chemistry primarily of Group 15 imido and phosphido cages containing a variety of anionic arrangements.
