Addressing the need for an introductory Organometallic Chemistry text, Spessard and Miessler have combined numerous illustrations, problems and well-referenced coverage in an overall accessible approach to this subfield of Inorganic Chemistry.* Provides an early, comprehensive introduction to molecular orbital theory to lay a foundation for further emphasis on structure and bonding. * Features a unique way of categorizing organometallic reactions on the basis of whether actions are mainly at metal or at ligand. * Features in-depth coverage of reaction mechanisms. * Offers a thorough discussion of carbene chemistry allowing readers to focus on all aspects of metal carbenes in one chapter (Chapter 10). * Depicts numerous applications of organometallic chemistry including organic synthesis, lanthanide chemistry, and catalysis, showing students that the field is relevant and growing. * Constructs a strong pedagogical framework composed of worked examples, in-chapter as well as end-of-chapter problems, outstanding illustrations, and special-interest features.
