Summary:

Molecular Chemistry of the Transition Elements combines a description of the experimental facts with theory, using the frontier orbital approach. After a brief history of organometallic chemistry and an introduction to the fundamental concepts of transition metal chemistry, the authors present the key groups of this field: hydrides, carbonyls, M-C bonds, M-M bonds, carbene and carbyne complexes, φ; - complexes and phosphorus complexes. Later chapters survey the applications of transition metals in both organic synthesis and catalysis. Molecular Chemistry of the Transition Elements presents: Integrated experimental and theoretical approachesA detailed description of the major compounds of the fieldThe comprehensive theory of metal-metal single and multiple bondsApplications of transition metalsAn in-depth treatment of phosphorus ligands and their complexesThis new text is the necessary tool for students of inorganic, organic, organometallic and transition metal chemistry.
