Organometallic Chemistry Volume 35 [Hardcover]

Organometallic chemistry is an interdisciplinary science which continues to grow at a rapid pace. Although there is continued interest in synthetic and structural studies, the last decade has seen a growing interest in the potential of organometallic chemistry to provide answers to problems in catalysis, synthetic organic chemistry and also in the development of new materials. Each volume in the series is published either annually or biennially and is a superb reference point for researchers.Front matter;Preface;Contents;Ligand electronic effects in homogeneous catalysis using transition metal complexes of phosphine ligands;Abnormal NHCs: coordination, reaction chemistry and catalytic applications;Application of phosphine ligands in organic synthesis;Recent developments in aryl–aryl bond formation by transition metal-catalysed C–H activation;Alkali/coinage metals—organolithium, organocuprate chemistry;Group 2 (Be–Ba) and Group 12 (Zn–Hg);Scandium, yttrium and the lanthanides;Developments in multiply bonded Group 14 organometallic chemistry;Organo-transition metal cluster complexes;Organometallic chemistry is an interdisciplinary science which continues to grow at a rapid pace. Although there is continued interest in synthetic and structural studies, the last decade has seen a growing interest in the potential of organometallic chemistry to provide answers to problems in catalysis, synthetic organic chemistry and also in the development of new materials. Each volume in the series is published either annually or biennially and is a superb reference point for researchers.This Specialist Periodical Report aims to reflect the growing interest in the potential of organometallic chemistry.Professor Ian Fairlamb's core interests are in transition metal chemistry in synthetic organic chemistry, catalyst design and mechanistic understanding. His work has strong links to biological chemistry, particularly the utilisation of transition metal chemisl#(
