Pincer complexes are formed by the binding of a chemical structure
to a metal atom with at least one carbon-metal bond. Usually the
metal atom has three bonds to a chemical backbone, enclosing the
atom like a pincer. The resulting structure protects the metal atom
and gives it unique properties.
The last decade has witnessed the continuous growth in the
development of pincer complexes. These species have passed from
being curiosity compounds to chemical chameleons able to perform a
wide variety of applications. Their unique metal bound structures
provide some of the most active catalysts yet known for organic
transformations involving the activation of bonds. The Chemistry of
Pincer Compounds details use of pincer compounds including
homogeneous catalysis, enantioselective organic transformations,
the activation of strong bonds, the biological importance of pincer
compounds as potential therapeutic or pharmaceutical agents,
dendrimeric and supported materials.
* Describes the chemistry and applications of this important class
of organometallic and coordination compounds
* Covers the areas in which pincer complexes have had an
impact
* Includes information on more recent and interesting pincer
compounds not just those that are well-known
