The Chemistry of the Metal Carbon Bond, Volume 2


Book Description

This is the second volume in the series edited by Frank Hartley on The Chemistry of the Metal Carbon Bond. The series is concerned with organometallic compounds from the point of view of the carbon end of the bond and is, therefore, relevant to Organic Chemists. This particular volume is concerned with Carbon-Carbon bonds and their formation using organometallic compounds.




Chemistry of the Platinum Group Metals


Book Description

The chemistry of platinum group metals is a rapidly expanding commercially important field. It is dominated by the catalytic properties of the metals. They are useful in petrochemical and general chemical plants and are becoming increasingly important as autocatalysts for pollution control. The book covers recent developments in the chemistry of the six platinum group metals, namely, platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium. The material falls into three broad areas. Firstly, the occurrence, extraction and use of the metals, especially in catalysis, electrochemistry, energy and electronics. Secondly, organometallic and homogeneous catalytic chemistry and last but not least coordination chemistry including biochemistry and cancer therapy. The work is aimed at scientists in universities and in industry using any of the six platinum group metals in research. It will be useful for those studying the compounds of the metals themselves, and those considering to use either the metals or their complexes and catalysts in their experimental work.

The Chemistry of the Metal Carbon Bond, Volume 5


Book Description

Part of a multi-volume work within the series "The Chemistry of Functional Groups", this volume covers the chemistry of the metal-carbon bond as a whole, but lays emphasis on the carbon end. It is also concerned with the use of organometallic compounds in organic and biological synthesis. It includes chapters on synthetic techniques such as sonochemistry, photochemistry and phase-transfer catalysis, on synthetic reactions such as asymmetric synthesis, oxidation and metathesis, on synthetic reagents such as metal clusters, organolanthanide, organoantimony and organobismuth reagents and chapters on biological alkylation and bio-organotin compounds.

Winner of the Textbook & Acadmic Authors Association 2021 McGuffey Longevity Award.




Carbon-Carbon ?-Bond Formation


Book Description

Volume 3 covers carbon-to-carbon single bond forming reactions involving sp3, sp2 and sp carbon centers, but only those which do not involve additions to C-X &pgr;-bonds. The volume first compares and contrasts the alkylation reactions of all types of sp3 carbon nucleophiles and also covers vinyl and alkynyl carbanions. Following on from Volume 2, a separate section covers Friedel-Crafts alkylation reactions, which is complemented by discussions of polyene cyclizations and electrophilic transannular cyclizations in synthesis. Coupling reactions leading to &agr;-bond formation, and involving all types of combinations ofsp3, sp2 and sp carbon centers are next covered, including those reactions based on pinacol, acyloin and phenol oxidative coupling reactions, and also the Kolbe reaction. Rearrangement reactions, leading to carbon-to-carbon &agr;-bond formation, are often used in a clever manner in synthesis. The volume includes all those rearrangement reactions based on intermediate carbonium ions and carbanions, and also includes the benzil-benzilic acid and the Wolff rearrangements. The volume closes with coverage of carbonylation reactions, and the use of carbene insertion reactions into the C-H bond in synthesis.




The Porphyrin Handbook, Volume 3


Book Description

Scientists in such fields as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, biology, and medicine are currently involved in investigations of porphyrins and their numerous analogues and derivatives. Porphyrins are being used as platforms for the study of theoretical principles, as catalysts, as drugs, as electronic devices, and as spectroscopic probes in biology and medicine. The need for an up-to-date and authoritative treatise on the porphyrin system has met with universal acclaim amongst scientists and investigators.

The Chemistry of the Hydrazo, Azo and Azoxy Groups, Volume 2


Book Description

The first volume of The Chemistry of the Hydrazo, Azo and Azoxy Groups was published in 1975 in two parts, and the present book is the second volume of this publication. Since 1975 three supplementary volumes dealing with the chemistry of double-bonded functional groups were also published in the Series and these volumes contain much material on the chemistry of azoxy compounds. Several subjects were omitted from the original volume in 1975. These omissions have been corrected in the present volume, which contains chapters on "Detection, identification and determination," on NMR, on ESR, on PES, on pharmacology and toxicology, and also on safety and environmental factors.
