Unusual Structures and Physical Properties in Organometallic Chemistry

The principal idea of this volume is to offer a Capita Selecta ofunconventional and thought-provoking topics in organometallicchemistry, presented by experts in each field. As intended, thisapproach leads either to reviews covering a specific uncommon classof organometallic compounds or to overviews which relate uncommonphysical properties with various classes of organometalliccompounds. The contributions are streamlined thus onto two mainaxes - unusual properties reflecting structures and bondingsituations, on the one hand, and uncommon structural features orstructure-reactivity relationships, on the other. Extensivecross-referencing of useful information is provided, making thisvolume accessible for people working in rather different areas oforganometallic chemistry.
The synthesis of molecules with 'extreme' properties is a challengefor all those working in organometallic chemistry, irrelevant oftheoretical/computational, synthetic or application interests. Thisbook presents case studies at the interface of these overlappinginterests.
Unusual Structures and Physical Properties in OrganometallicChemistry:
* Provides test cases for computational and theoreticalmodels
* Presents a challenge for synthetic chemists
* Provides ideal show cases for analytical techniques
This volume will be an invaluable reference for researchers inorganometallic chemistry, computational and theoretical chemistry,NMR and other spectroscopic methods.
