About this title

Review:

"Since it first appeared in 1997, "Organometallic Chemistry" by Spessard and Miessler has earned a reputation as a highly readable, thorough text...The book's approach is to first establish a structure-bonding foundation that is based on molecular orbital theory...This sets the stage for a methodical coverage of the full range of reactions of organo-transition metal complexes and many of the practical applications of this chemistryEL[S]ignificant improvements have been made, including the addition of many more problems at the end of the chapters. The added exercises have a widely varied level of difficulty and focus and therefore allow the instructor much more flexibility in the assigned problems. As a result, this text would be well-suited for a course in which applications to organic synthesis are to be heavily emphasized."--Craig Jensen, Organomettalics

Synopsis:

Addressing the need for an introductory Organometallic Chemistry text, Spessard and Miessler have combined numerous illustrations, problems and well-referenced coverage in an overall accessible approach to this subfield of Inorganic Chemistry.* Provides an early, comprehensive introduction to molecular orbital theory to lay a foundation for further emphasis on structure and bonding. * Features a unique way of categorizing organometallic reactions on the basis of whether actions are mainly at metal or at ligand. * Features in-depth coverage of reaction mechanisms. * Offers a thorough discussion of carbene chemistry allowing readers to focus on all aspects of metal carbenes in one chapter (Chapter 10). * Depicts numerous applications of organometallic chemistry including organic synthesis, lanthanide chemistry, and catalysis, showing students that the field is relevant and growing. * Constructs a strong pedagogical framework composed of worked examples, in-chapter as well as end-of-chapter problems, outstanding illustrations, and special-interest features.
