Product Description
Using a systematic and theoretical approach, this outstanding textbook offers a succinct introduction to the underlying principles of organometallic chemistry--with a strong emphasis on reactions mechanisms. It links theory with the chemical properties of the compounds, enabling students to classify the variety of compounds and to understand the basic reaction mechanisms of diverse classes of compounds. Chapters with selected applications help students to transfer the theoretical knowledge to real life chemistry. Contains numerous examples.

Book Info
Combines a description of the experimental facts with theory, using the frontier orbital approach. Later chapters survey the applications of transition metals in both organic synthesis and catalysis. Paper. DLC: Organotransition metal compounds.
