An Introduction to Organometallic Chemistry

This book presents an integrated view of the organometallic chemistry of transition and non-transition elements. Early chapters deal with the basic principles, preparation and structure of organometallic compounds. Subsequent chapters discuss the reactivity of these compounds and the applications of organometallic compounds as stoichiometric reagents and catalysts. The text is comprehensively referenced throughout and is also a guide to organometallic literature, increasing its usefulness to all those involved in the study or teaching of this increasingly important branch of undergraduate chemistry.
