Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry

Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is anessential introduction to this increasingly important field forstudents and researchers in inorganic chemistry. Emphasisingapplications and real-world examples, the book begins with anoverview of chirality, with a discussion of absolute configurationsand system descriptors, physical properties of enantiomers, andprinciples of resolution and preparation of enantiomers. Thesubsequent chapters deal with the the specifics of chirality as itapplies to transition metals.
Some reviews of Chirality in Transition MetalChemistry
"...useful to students taking an advanced undergraduate courseand particularly to postgraduates and academics undertakingresearch in the areas of chiral inorganic supramolecular complexesand materials." Chemistry World, August 2009
"...the book offers an extremely exciting newaddition to the study of inorganic chemistry, and should becompulsory reading for students entering their final year ofundergraduate studies or starting a Ph.D. in structural inorganicchemistry."
Applied Organometallic Chemistry Volume 23, Issue 5,May 2009
"...In conclusion the book gives a wonderful overviewof the topic. It is helpful for anyone entering the field throughsystematic and detailed introduction of basic information. It wastime to publish a new and topical text book covering the importantaspect of coordination chemistry. It builds bridges betweenInorganic, organic and supramolecular chemistry. I can recommendthe book to everybody who is interested in the chemistry of chiralcoordination compounds ."
