The growing uses of these seven elements are enmeshing them ever more firmly into critical areas of 21st century technology, including energy storage, catalysis, and various applications of nanoscience. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume provides comprehensive coverage of the fundamentals and recent advances in the science and technology of the lightest metals. Opening chapters of the book describe major physical and chemical properties of the metals, their occurrence and issues of long-term availability. The book goes on todisucss a broad range of chemical features, including low oxidation state chemistry, organometallics, metal-centered NMR spectroscopy, and cation-p interactions. Current and emerging applications of the metals are presented, including lithium-ion battery technology, hydrogen storage chemistry, superconductor materi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors XI\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSeries Preface XV\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eVolume Preface XVII\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 1: BACKGROUND 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterrelationships between the Lightest Metals 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNicholas C.
