Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Presents organometallic chemistry within a logical framework of fundamental ideas. Deals with practical applications of the subject, processes of industrial significance, and organic synthesis. The biological aspects of the subject, which are just beginning to emerge, are also covered. Discusses methods of characterization and of bio-organometallic chemistry, neither of which is treated in the standard texts available. There is also coverage of high valent organometallic species and of applications to organic synthesis.

"A Wiley-Interscience publication."

CHOICE Review

Each edition of this organometallics book by Crabtree (Yale Univ.) keeps getting better. Many sections have been rewritten and new materials included, such as coupling reactions, C-F bond activation, paramagnetic organometallics, and surface organometallic chemistry. A few new problems have been added to the problem sets, a highlight of the book. Solutions to the problems offer explanations that are very helpful to students. The best additions (compared to the 1st ed., 1988) are the subtitles within each section of each chapter, which makes the book useful as a resource. The introduction and chapter on general properties are well written and offer an excellent overview. Three chapters illustrate sigma-bonded and pi-bonded ligands and their reactions. Details of the major types of reaction mechanisms appear in the chapters on oxidative addition and reductive elimination, insertion and elimination, and nucleophilic/electrophilic addition and abstraction. There is a practical chapter on homogeneous catalysis and an especially good one on physical methods. The remaining chapters offer practical applications of organometallics to carbenes and polymerization, metal-metal bonds, organic synthesis, oxidation complexes, and bioorganometallic chemistry. Chapters are well illustrated with numerous references to the literature. Useful for undergraduate and graduate students. W. H. Hohman Marietta College
