Description
Book SynopsisThe newfound stability of carbenes has led to their development as catalysts and ligands for metal complexes of vast potential, including biomolecule labeling and surface modification of materials.
Trade Review“Overall I think that this book is generally well presented and free of obvious mistakes. I very much like the fact that there is consistency in structure throughout each chapter, indicating that the editorial process has been thorough. In particular, the conclusion and outlook sections provide a valuable summary of the state-of-the-art in each area, and how the future is foreseen.” (Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 10 October 2014)
