Science of Synthesis: Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations Vol. 1

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.For full information on the Science of Synthesis series, visit the Science of Synthesis Homepage.
