About The Book:

This slim yet insightful volume offers a comprehensive look at the chemistry and bonding of some of the most important classes of organometallic compounds. The focus is on complexes of transition metals with Pi-ligands, such as alkenes, alkynes, arenes, and cyclopentadienyl and allyl ligands. Through the interaction of transition metals with these unsaturated molecules, fundamental insights into the nature of the chemical bond have been achieved, paving the way for important applications in fields like transition metal-mediated synthesis and catalysis.

Building on the foundational knowledge from Organometallics I, this book expands upon the chemistry of complexes with metal-carbon delta-bonds. Each class of compounds is explored in terms of its synthetic methods and reactivity, supported by pertinent examples from the latest chemical literature. The material is not only theoretical but also relates to current synthetic and catalytic applications, making it highly relevant for modern chemical practices.

Written for those with a keen interest in the intricate world of organometallic chemistry, this volume connects the fundamental concepts to practical applications, highlighting how these compounds are used in cutting-edge synthesis and catalysis.
