Organometallic Chemistry,Used

Designed with the needs of both undergraduate and graduate students in mind, Organometallic Chemistry, Second Edition, covers the fundamentals of organometallic chemistry by presenting seminal experiments, analyzing real data, and offering the most comprehensive problem sets available. The text opens with careful and patient explanations of the structure and bonding of organometallic compounds, providing a uniquely accessible introduction to the subject for undergraduate students. Later chapters build on this foundation with indepth coverage of organometallic reaction mechanisms, more advanced topics of catalysis, carbene complexes, metathesis, applications of organometallic chemistry to organic synthesis, and cluster compounds.FEATURES* Numerous inchapter worked examples and expansive endofchapter problem sets. Covering a wide spectrum of difficulty, the endofchapter problems range from basic practice problems to more advanced analytical ones; many of these are directly referenced to the current chemical literature.* An experimental approachillustrated by both groundbreaking classic experiments and cuttingedge contemporary ones that not only teaches students what is now known about organometallic chemistry, but also how we know what we know* Realworld applicationshighlighted throughout the text that engage students and reveal the relevance of organometallic chemistry to the world of industryNEW TO THE SECOND EDITION* Updated and expanded coverage of the latest developments in the field, including IR, NMR, and mass spectroscopy; catalysis; carbene complexes; metathesis and polymerization; and applications to organic synthesis* More extensive treatments of industrial applications, including hydroformylation, uses of Grubbs and Schrock metal carbene catalysts, SHOP, palladiumcatalyzed crosscouplings, and more* 50% more inchapter worked examples and expansive endofchapter problem sets than the previous edition* 25% more inchapter exercises (with answers in Appendix B) than the previous edition* A new focus on green chemistry that reveals how well its principles mesh with those of organotransition metal catalysis* Introduction of the 18electron rule (Chapter 3)* New computational approaches to molecular orbital calculations (Chapter 2)* 25% more molecular model illustrations than the previous edition. The text now includes more than 600 illustrations and structures, including 120 brandnew figures; all preexisting figures have been revised for clarity and consistency.Organometallic Chemistry, Second Edition, is supplemented by an Instructor's Resource CDROM, which includes all of the figures from the text in electronic format and the solutions to all of the exercises and problems from the text (in an editable Word file format).
