Description
Book SynopsisOrganometallic compounds of transition metals play a crucial role as reagents and catalysts in organic synthesis. Following up on Professor Tsujia s very well received 1991 volume, this state--of--the--art work provides complete coverage of transition metal reagents and catalysts----from background theory to industrial applications.
Trade Review"...this book will be of much use to the synthetic chemist...should prove an invaluable source from which to explore further the fascinating field of transition-metal-mediated reactions." (
Applied Organometallic Chemistry, Vol.17, 2003)
"...useful...valuable as a reference work...and for it?s educational value..." (CATTECH, May 2003)
