This book focuses on the geological characteristics and genesis of several base metal deposits in the northern margin of the North China Plate, namely the Bainaimiao Cu-Au-Mo, the Huogeqi Cu-Pb-Zn, the Dongshengmiao Zn-Pb-Cu and the Jiashengpan Zn-Pb deposits. These deposits have geological and geochemical affinities with orogenic-type deposits, such as shear zone-controlled mineralization and carbon-rich low-salinitiy ore-forming fluids, and are characterized by multistage ore-forming histories. Remobilization of the pre-enriched (stratabound or porphyry-type) base metals took place as responses to orogenesis and metamorphism, leading to metal redistribution and the formation of orogenic-type orebodies. The formation of orogenic-type base metal deposits is enigmatic, and the case studies presented in this book provide insights into understanding the genesis of this type of deposits. In particular, pre-enrichment of base metals seems to be important, in terms of preconditioning for later shear zone-controlled mineralization, since base metals are believed to have limited solubilities in the low-salinity ore-fluids.

Chiral Phosphorous Based Ligands in Earth-Abundant Transition Metal Catalysis summarizes the most significant progress in the field of chiral phosphine ligand chemistry and a broad range of earth-abundant transition metal/chiral phosphine ligand-catalyzed enantioselective transformations. The book provides an authoritative and in-depth understanding of important topics about asymmetric catalysis based on earth-abundant transition metals/chiral phosphine ligands, making it ideal for organic chemistry researchers working in the field of asymmetric catalysis, synthetic methodologies and total synthesis. The development of new chiral phosphine ligands to achieve precise stereo control in many earth-abundant transition metal-catalyzed reactions is a very important field in organic synthesis, materials science and medicinal chemistry. The asymmetric synthesis promoted by transition metal/chiral phosphine ligands provides one of the most ideal ways to produce valuable optically active chemicals.
