Description
Book SynopsisThis texts offers a clear and systematic approach to the formation, manipulation, and reactivity of organometallic complexes. It presents the organic chemistry of transition metals by class of metal complex, with many examples of applications in the synthesis of complex natural products and pharmaceuticals.
Trade Review'This is a well written book that encapsulates much of what has been published recently, so it is a great update to the older editions. The key concepts come across very clearly.' - Nicholas E. Leadbeater, University of Connecticut, USA 'I enjoyed reading this book. There is a ton of information in it and I believe it will be very useful.' - Patrick J. Walsh, University of Pennsylvania, USA
