Molecular Chemistry of the Transition Elements An Introductory Course François Mathey Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France and Alain Sevin Université Paris VI, France 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, - 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 approaches * A detailed description of the major compounds of the field * The comprehensive theory of metal-metal single and multiple bonds * Applications of transition metals * An in-depth treatment of phosphorus ligands and their complexes This new text is the necessary tool for students of inorganic, organic, organometallic and transition metal chemistry.
