Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations is the entirely new edition of the acclaimed reference series, Houben-Weyl, the standard synthetic chemistry resource since 1909. This new edition is published in English and will comprise of 48 volumes published between the years 2000 and 2008.
Science of Synthesis is a quality reference work developed by a highly esteemed editorial board to provide a comprehensive and critical selection of reliable organic and organometallic synthetic methods. Science of Synthesis is designed to be the first point of reference when searching for a synthesis strategy.
This volume covers compounds with transition metal?carbon pi-bonds for groups 10-8. It is the first volume in Category 1 (Organometallics) and the first volume of the Science of Synthesis series. The elements covered are Ni, Pd, Pt, Co, Rh, Ir, Fe, Ru, and Os and the range of organic pi-bonds includes arene, pentadienyl, cyclopentadienyl, diene, allyl, alkyne, and alkene moieties.
