Publisher's Synopsis
An integrated approach to organometallic chemistry, incorporating many new results. Provides historical background, and develops the subject from first principles to the latest developments. Topics include classification, nomenclature, nontransition– and transition–metal organometallics (preparation, properties, structures, and bonding), and fluxionality and applications. Includes critical analysis of the environmental aspects of main–group and transition–metal organometallic compounds. Contains many illustrative figures and charts.
