Organometallics playa key role in organic synthesis. Carbon carbon bond formation without main group and transition metal based reagents as well as catalysts is hardly imaginable, and the tremendous success in recent years in the field of stereoselective synthesis of complex biologically active com pounds would have been impossible without the advances in organometallic chemistry. From the wealth of carbon carbon bond forming reactions in organotransition metal chemistry many new methods have evolved. This was aided considerably by a deepening of our understanding of the relevant reaction mechanisms. Organometallic chemistry is the bridge par excellence between the traditional fields of inorganic and organiC chemistry. It was the intention of the "Volkswagen-Stiftung" to broaden this bridge by starting in 1986 the new interdisciplinary program "Organic Synthesis via Organo metallics." From its very beginning this program grew up after 6 years to now more than 60 projects and its encompasses besides its main topic "Organic Synthesis" mechanistic and structural aspects of organometallic chemistry as well. In a series of symposia sponsored by the "Volkswagen-Stiftung," the former of which were held in Hamburg (February 1986), Wiirzburg (October 1988) and Marburg (July 1990), a forum for intensive discussions and SCientific exchange was established. There, scientists participating in the program met with other experts form academia and from industry. The forth symposium was held in Aachen from July 15 to 18, 1992."

Magnesium remains almost unique among the metals in its ability to react directly with a wide variety of compounds. This organic chemistry field has seen steady progress, and a volume on this topic is long overdue. In the tradition of the Patai Series this title treats all aspects of functional groups, containing chapters on the theoretical and computational foundations; on analytical and spectroscopic aspects with dedicated chapters on Mass Spectrometry, NMR, IR/UV, etc.; on reaction mechanisms; on applications in syntheses. Depending on the functional group there are also chapters on industrial use, on effects in biological and/or environmental systems. Since the area of Organomagnesium Chemistry continues to grow far beyond the classical Grignard Reagents, this is an essential resource to help the reader keep abreast of the latest developments.

Recent Advances in Organometallic Chemistry: Synthetic, Mechanistic and Medicinal Perspective highlights recent advancements in the field of organometallic chemistry. Containing essential information for researchers and advanced-level students, especially those working in chemical synthesis, the book describes the role of organometallic compounds in different combinations in organic synthesis and pharmaceuticals as well as discussing spectral, magnetic and sensing features of the compounds. Including the role of computational investigations towards the mechanistic study of biomimic complexes in catalytic transformation reactions, the book provides a large number of examples along with their leading applications in other fields. Each chapter covers basic strategies, which are illustrated along with examples of the latest advancements in the field and in-depth explanations.

Organometallic Chemistry of Five-Membered Heterocycles explores the synthesis, coordination modes, reactivity of coordinated five-membered monoheterocycles, and organometallic complexes of their numerous derivatives, including chelating ligands, oligomers, and macrocycles. Beginning with the introduction of organometallic compounds, this book dives deep into the reactivity of coordinated five-membered monoheterocycles and the derivatives of fundamental ligands. This book is an ideal reference for researchers working in organometallic, heterocyclic, materials, or organic chemistry, and catalysis. The readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of modern synthetic methods, reactivity trends of heteroaromatic ligands, and the methods of modern materials construction.

With the increase in volume, velocity and variety of information, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. Providing an invaluable resource, this volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in organometallic chemistry research and emerging fields.

This volume, number 23 in the "Tetrahedron Organic Chemistry" series, presents organolithium chemistry from the perspective of a synthetic organic chemist, drawing from the synthetic literature to present a unified overview of how organolithiums can be used to make molecules. The development of methods for the regioselective synthesis of organolithiums has replaced their image of indiscriminate high reactivity with one of controllable and subtle selectivity. Organolithium chemistry has a central role in the selective construction of C-C bonds in both simple and complex molecules, and for example has arguably overtaken aromatic electrophilic substitution as the most powerful method for regioselective functionalisation of aromatic rings. The twin themes of reactivity and selectivity run through the book, which reviews the ways by which organolithiums may be formed and the ways in which they react. Topics include advances in directed metallation, reductive lithiation and organolithium cyclisation reactions, along with a discussion of organolithium stereochemistry and the role played by ligands such as (-)-sparteine.

What do a pharmaceutical, polymer and solid state chemist have in common? Organometallic chemistry of course, since progress in their diverse fields has at many times relied on this. It is a discipline which stands at the crossroads of so many branches of chemistry, with industrial applications ranging from the gram to megatonne scale. This book aims to introduce undergraduates to the utility of organotransition metal chemistry, a discipline of importance to scientists and technologists in a variety of industry sectors. The main focus will be on the reactivity of organometallic compounds of the transition metals, supported by discussion of structure and bonding and their implications. The aim, on completion of the course, is that a student will be equipped to recognize the key classes of organometallic compounds, their methods of characterization, possible synthetic routes and anticipated reactivity. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic principles underlying a given subject, embodying an independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.

Inorganic Trace Analysis is unique in discussing both the development of new procedures for inorganic trace analysis and the improvement of existing methods. its emphasis is on improving technique rather than presenting ‘recipes’ of already developed methods. By discussing the underlying principles behind current best practice procedures employed, the book assists the reader in the development of new systems for working under chemically clean conditions. Inorganic Trace Analysis, now available in paperback, is invaluable for any analytical chemist involved in high accuracy procedures. The authors have written a text that will not date rapidly, but will stimulate others to push forward the frontiers of trace analysis. Reviews of hardback edition: ‘This book is timely, and I recommend it as essential reading for practitioners of trace analysis.…’ — Chemistry in Britain ‘This book will stimulate readers to extend the frontiers of trace analysis and make the "impossible analysis of today" the "routine analysis of tomorrow" — Trends in Analytical Chemistry
