Principles of Organometallic Chemistry

Description

Organometallic chemistry is the study of organometallic compounds, chemical compounds containing at least one chemical bond between a carbon atom of an organic molecule and a metal, including alkaline, alkaline earth, and transition metals, and sometimes broadened to include metalloids like boron, silicon, and tin. This text “Principles of Organometallic Chemistry” explores the organometallic compounds of s- and p-block elements; structure and bonding aspects of main group elements. Fully updated and expanded to reflect recent advances, this text provides students and professional chemists with an excellent introduction to the principles and general properties of organometallic compounds, as well as including practical information on reaction mechanisms and detailed descriptions of contemporary applications. Its objective “to inculcate interest in understanding transition metal organometallic chemistry in the beginners of organometallic, inorganic and organic chemistry as well as research scholars in academia and industry. The book is easy to read, and with many descriptive sections will be accessible to beginning graduate and higher level undergraduate students.
