Organometallic Chemistry Volume 43

Providing an invaluable resource, this volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in organometallic and coordination chemistry research and emerging fields. With the increase in volume, velocity and variety of information, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. The reviews range in scope and include recent advances in chromium coordination chemistry, borohydride and borane ligand architectures supported by heterocyclic units and discussion on behaviours of novel ruthenium (II) complexes. This volume is a key reference for researchers in academic and industrial settings.

Advances in Organometallic Chemistry

Cutting-edge research and innovative science... PROGRESS in Inorganic Chemistry Hailed by professional chemists as an index of the most influentialand current research being done in inorganic chemistry, Progress inInorganic Chemistry has also enjoyed the reputation as anindispensable working reference. Featuring the work ofinternationally renowned chemists, this newest volume provides aclear, authoritative examination of each critical new advance andinnovative development in inorganic chemistry today. "This series is distinguished not only by its scope and breadth,but also by the depth and quality of the reviews."--Journal of theAmerican Chemical Society "This series is a valuable addition to the library of thepracticing research chemist, and is a good starting point forstudents wishing to understand modern inorganicchemistry."--Canadian Chemical News "[This series] has won a deservedly honored place on the bookshelfof the chemist attempting to keep afloat in the torrent of originalpapers on inorganic chemistry."--Chemistry in Britain CONTENTS OF VOLUME 43 * Oxovanadium and Oxomolybdenum Clusters and Solids IncorporatingOxygen-Donor Ligands (M. Ishaque Kahn, Illinois Institute ofTechnology, and Jon Zubieta, Syracuse University) * The Application of Polychalcogenide Salts to the ExploratorySynthesis of Solid State Multinary Chalcogenides at IntermediateTemperatures (Mercouri G.

The individual chapters in this volume cover the scope and impact of main group organometallic compounds and reagents on organic synthesis during the last ten to fifteen years. In a number of chapters, topics are dealt with in detail that either were not covered at all in COMC (eg selenium, tellurium) or were given scant attention (eg oxymercuration, organoantimony compounds). Certain topics, like directed metallation and LiKOR bases have only achieved prominence in synthesis in the last ten years, and are now reviewed by leading experts.

Providing an invaluable resource, this volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in organometallic and coordination chemistry research and emerging fields. With continued increases in the variety of information available, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. The reviews in this volume range in scope and include recent developments in homogeneous catalysis for the functionalization of carbon dioxide, early transition metal complexes and their uses in medicinal chemistry, homogeneous gold catalysis under microwave irradiation: a greener approach and properties of metal complexes of mesoionic carbenes. This volume is a key reference for researchers in academic and industrial settings.

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. This Specialist Periodical Report aims to reflect these current interests reviewing progress in theoretical organometallic chemistry, main group chemistry, the lanthanides and all aspects of transition metal chemistry. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

Provides essential information for any chemist or technologist who needs to use or apply organometallic compounds. Provides a comprehensive overview of recent developments in the field and attempts to predict trends in the field over the next ten years.
