This second edition offers easy access to the field of organotransition metal chemistry. The book covers the basics of transition metal chemistry, giving a prac

Examines the use of transition metal complexes as reagents for the synthesis of complex organic molecules. Presented here are total syntheses whose efficiency d

The continually growing contribution of transition metal chemistry to synthetic organic chemistry is, of course, widely recognized. Equally well known is the di

Transition metals open up new opportunities for synthesis, because their means of bonding and their reaction mechanisms differ from those of the elements of the
