Fully updated and expanded to reflect recent advances, this Fifth
Edition of the classic text provides students and professional
chemists with a comprehensive 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. With increased focus on organic
synthesis applications, nanoparticle science, and green chemistry, the
Fifth Edition brings this vital resource up to date.
New to the Fifth Edition:
-
Chapters have been updated with relevant examples in the field,
modern trends, and new applications; the organic applications
chapter has been completely rewritten
-
New end-of-chapter problems, along with their solutions
-
Coverage enhanced with developments in nanoparticle science
-
Increased focus on green chemistry
An unparalleled pedagogic resource as well as a valuable working
reference for professional chemists, with comprehensive coverage and
up-to-date information, students and researchers in organic and
organometallic chemistry will turn to The Organometallic Chemistry
of the Transition Metals, Fifth Edition for the critical
information they need on organometallic compounds, their preparation,
and their use in synthesis.
