Description

Book Synopsis
Written by internationally recognised leaders in the field, Metal Amide Chemistry is the authoritative survey of this important class of compounds, the first since Lappert and Power's 1980 book Metal and Metalloid Amides.

Trade Review
"This book is a very timely summary of the metal amide chemistry that has surfaced over the past three decades ... .An indisputable success: I can recommend this book to all colleagues and students who are actively pursuing research in the fields of coordination, organic, and inorganic chemistry." (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, February 2010)
