Advances in Organometallic Chemistry: Volume 41 - Tapa dura

"This volume continues the series exposition of timely and significant advances in the field." --JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY

"This is a very interesting collection of reviews, maintaining the expected standard of this meritorious series, which is now an obligatory purchase of all chemistry libraries attached to academic and industrial research laboratories." --JOURNAL OF ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY

"The volume maintains the traditional high standard of the series and ought to be considered essential for those involved in organo-transition metal chemistry research." --CHEMISTRY IN AUSTRALIA

In basic research, organometallics have contributed inter alia to:

• Metal cluster chemistry
• Surface chemistry
• The stabilization of highly reactive species by metal coordination
• Chiral synthesis
• The formulation of multiple bonds between carbon and the other elements and between the elements themselves
• Metal organic compounds of calcium, strontium, and barium in chemical vapor deposition
• 17- and 19-electron organometallic complexes
• Halocarbonyl complexes of molybdenum and tungsten
• Substituent effects in metallacene chemistry
