This book is written for scientists who require information on
organobismuth chemistry, either by specific topic or by compound.
"Organobismuth Chemistry" covers, through early 1999,
stoichiometric compounds that contain the Bi-C bond; not included,
with the exception of a few examples, are inorganic compounds,
minerals, metal alloys, and non-stoichiometric materials.
Organobismuth chemistry is covered in a comprehensive,
self-contained manner. The book focuses on the academic aspects of
the field; therefore, references to patents are made only when
pertinent. Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to bismuth as the
element. In chapters 2 to 4, organobismuth compounds are classified
according to the types of compounds and dealt in detail. Chapter 5
is devoted to the use of bismuth and derivatives in organic
transformations. In the first four chapters, brief to moderate
descriptions for selected experimental procedures are included;
they are intended to inform the readers of relevant protocols and
should serve in preparative studies which are based on analogies.
In the final chapter the X-ray data of fundamental and/or
structurally interesting organobismuth (III) and (V) compounds are
collected. At the beginning of each chapter, the text is preceded
by detailed table of contents of the subject dealt in it. By
inspection of the table, it should be possible to locate quickly
information on a specific organobismuth compound.
Definite efforts have been made to include all factual data
pertinent to an understanding of each class of organobismuth
compounds. The main attention is paid to the methods of synthesis,
molecular structure, and chemical behaviours of organobismuth
compounds, although some knowledge of spectroscopy and other
physical properties are also included. The format for presenting
information has both descriptive information and numerical data.
Numerical data are mostly presented in tabular form. Tables of
known compounds in each chapter are organized so as to enable the
readers to make easy access to the most relevant data source of a
compound. The nomenclature does not follow strictly the
recommendations of IUPAC, but usage is mostly consistent with
common practice in the current literature. In order to help the
readers to save time in looking for appropriate spectral data, an
effort has also been made to provide the IR, MS, NMR and UV
spectral data sources in tabular form. All references for chapters
are collected together in a list at the end of the book. In the
list, references are given chronologically both in code and in full
form, with authors names.
This book will appeal to academic and industrial researchers alike,
and will be particularly useful to chemists engaged in bench work.
In addition it is hoped that this book will provide a stimulus as
the basis for further development of organobismuth chemistry.
