Organotransition Metal
Chemistry - From Bonding to Catalysis provides a selective, but
thorough and authoritative coverage of the fundamentals of organometallic
chemistry, the elementary reactions of these complexes, and many catalytic
processes occurring through organometallic intermediates. Built upon the
foundation established by the classic text by Collman, Hegedus, Norton and
Finke, this text consists of new or thoroughly updated and restructured chapters
and provides an in-depth view into mechanism, reaction scope, and
applications.



The early chapters describe the principles of bonding and the classes of ligands
that characterize organotransition metal chemistry. The remainder of the book
focuses on the reactions of organometallic complexes. The second portion of the
book describes the classic stoichiometric organometallic reactions, including
ligand substitution, oxidative addition, reductive elimination, migratory
insertions, eliminations, electrophilic attack on coordinated ligands,
nucleophilic attack on coordinated ligands, and chemistry of metal-ligand
multiple bonds. The third portion of the text describes the principles of
catalysis and the classic catalytic processes of organometallic systems. Written
by a teacher and experienced practitioner of the field, the book's content is
simultaneously accessible to students with no background in the subject matter
and invaluable to synthetic organic chemists, inorganic chemists, and even
experts in the field. "...the benchmark text for an advanced undergraduate or graduate course in organometallic chemistry...an extraordinarily thorough, albeit necessarily selective, survey of the historical and contemporary achievements in the field of organotransition metal chemistry. This book is destined to be the go-to resource for the field of transition-metal organometallic chemistry for many years to come." - Shannon S.Stahl, University of Wisconsin - Madison, J.A.C.S "With great coverage of all aspects of the field, Hartwig's Organotransition Metal Chemistry: From Bonding to Catalysis is the new must-have text that very soon will be recognized far and wide as a true chemistry classic." - Harry B. Gray, California Institute of Technology, USA "This will be a very useful reference work." - Martin Semmelhack, Princeton University, USA "This long-awaited new edition of a classic text does a fine job of covering the most important developments in organotransition metal chemistry over the last 20 years, while retaining the earlier versions' effective presentations of basic concepts and older work. It should well serve both teachers choosing a textbook for an advanced course and active researchers looking for a good starting reference source." - Jay A. Labinger, California Institute of Technology, USA
