Advances in Organometallic Chemistry, 35

West, Robert

Organometallic chemistry is the study of compounds containing carbon-metal bonds. They range from species that are so reactive that they only have a transient existence at ambient temperatures to those that are thermally very stable. They are used extensively in the synthesis of useful compounds on both small and large scales. Industrial processes involving plastics, polymers, electronic materials and pharmaceuticals all depend on advances in organometallic chemistry. This serial contains authoritative reviews that address all aspects of organometallic chemistry, a field which has expanded eno.
