In Organoindium Compounds

The present volume contains all compounds in which at least one indium-carbon bonding interaction can be assumed. The compilation starts with the simplest compound of trivalent indium, In(CHh, and ends with studies about the interaction of indium with carbon monoxide 3 in an argon matrix. Literature coverage is intended to be complete to spring 1991 with various examples up to September 1991. The arrangement is closely related to that of the organogallium volume and documents the similarities between the two elements. Following the indium triorganyls and their adducts with Lewis bases in Section 1, the broad field of compounds of the general type R ln- n 3 n (n = 1, 2) is treated in sections 2 to 9; X represents a ligand bonded with a non-carbon atom to the indium atom. The arrangement of the various ligands follows the order group 17, 16, 15, etc. elements, with few compounds having direct indium-transition metal bonds. Ionic species, predominantly [R lnX -n]-compounds (n = 1 to 4), close the series of trivalent n 4 organoindium compounds and are collected in Section 11. Compounds of formally low valent indium (In", Ini, and Ino), with one R 1nlnR species having an In-In bond, form Section 12; 2 2 an extended chapter therein is dedicated to the young area of Cp*ln compounds in which i formalln is coordinated in an T] 5 manner.

The Periodic Table: Nature’s Building Blocks: An Introduction to the Naturally Occurring Elements, Their Origins and Their Uses addresses how minerals and their elements are used, where the elements come from in nature, and their applications in modern society. The book is structured in a logical way using the periodic table as its outline. It begins with an introduction of the history of the periodic table and a short introduction to mineralogy. Element sections contain their history, how they were discovered, and a description of the minerals that contain the element. Sections conclude with our current use of each element. Abundant color photos of some of the most characteristic minerals containing the element accompany the discussion. Ideal for students and researchers working in inorganic chemistry, minerology and geology, this book provides the foundational knowledge needed for successful study and work in this exciting area. Describes the link between geology, minerals and chemistry to show how chemistry relies on elements from nature Emphasizes the connection between geology, mineralogy and daily life, showing how minerals contribute to the things we use and in our modern economy Contains abundant color photos of each mineral that bring the periodic table to life
