Description
Book SynopsisWhen working out the pathways and mechanisms by which metals distribute themselves throughout the environment, an understanding of the chemical structure and concentration of organometal compounds throughout the ecosystem is critical. Organometallic Compounds in the Environment provides a holistic view of the subject.
Trade Review"This completely revised and updated edition treats environmental organometallic chemistry as an integrated and coherent subject area in its own right." (International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, Vol.84, No.14 – 15, 10 – 20 December 2004)
“…it is as a ‘one-stop-source’ of research information that this book should be most highly recommended”. ((Applied Organometallic Chemistry, March 2005)
