Volume 1: Compounds with Transition Metal¾Carbon π-Bonds and Compounds of Groups 10-8 (Ni, Pd, Pt, Co, Rh, Ir, Fe, Ru, Os) |
 |
Introduction by Prof. Mark Lautens (Volume Editor): |
|
This volume covers compounds with transition metal¾carbon π-bonds for groups 10-8. It is the first volume in the category “Organometallics” and the first volume of the Science of Synthesis series. The elements covered include Ni, Pd, Pt, Co, Rh, Ir, Fe, Ru and Os and the range of organic π-bonds includes arene, pentadienyl, cyclopentadienyl, diene, allyl, alkyne and alkene moieties. |
|
The decision to create a series of volumes on Organometallics was based on an appreciation of the increasing role that metal complexes play as reagents in organic synthesis. In addition organometallic complexes are widely used as catalysts or precatalysts in many organic transformations and so their importance is increasing dramatically over the past quarter century. |
