With applications ranging from asymmetric catalysis to magnetic materials, ferrocene is one of the most versatile building blocks in synthesis. This book captures the multidisciplinary nature of ferrocene research, including topics such as ferrocene-containing polymers, ferrocene-containing thermotropic liquid crystals, chiral ferrocene derivatives, and ferrocene-containing charge-transfer materials. In addition, the reader will find * valuable information for planning syntheses * over 70 tables, making relevant data available at a glance * carefully selected references, providing an easy access to the primary literature Up-to-date, and written by leading international experts in the field, among them R. Deschenaux, C. D. Hall, Y. Butsugan, and R. Herrmann, this book is a welcome source of in-depth information for graduate students and professionals in organic, organometallic, and polymer chemistry, as well as in materials science.
This handbook on catalytic heterofunctionalization, presents modern synthetic methods including hydroamination, hydrosilylation, hydrozirconation, hydroalumination, hydroboration and hydrophosphination. It is a source for researchers and practitioners of homogeneous catalysis.
The understanding of functional groups is the key to understanding organic chemistry. In the tradition of Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups each volume treats all aspects of functional groups, touching on theoretical, analytical, synthetic, biological, and industrial aspects. Hypervalent halogen compounds, in particular iodine compounds, are very efficient and selective oxidants which tolerate a wide range of functional groups. The electrophilic properties of these reagents can also be used to introduce other functionalizations. The present volume is the first in the series to survey the properties and chemical behaviour of hypervalent iodine and bromine, their use in organic synthesis, as well as their industrial application. As with all new volumes, the chapters are first published online in Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups. Once a volume is completed online, it is then published in print format. The printed book offers the traditional quality of the Patai Book Series, complete with an extensive index.
With its impressive features, gold has led to completely new reaction types in recent years, which in turn have strongly influenced both organic catalysis and material science. Other fields where a significant amount of new results has been obtained include nanotechnology, self assembly/supramolecular systems and biochemical/medicinal chemistry. As a result, gold is one of the hottest topics in catalysis at the moment, with an increasing amount of research being carried out in this field. While focusing on homogeneous catalysis, this monograph also covers the main applications in heterogeneous catalysis. Following a look at the gold-catalyzed addition of heteroatom nucleophiles to alkynes, i...
That terms like sandwich complexes or the concept of compounds without direct chemical bonds between the central metal atom and the ligating atoms are nowadays common knowledge can be attributed to the sensational discovery of ferrocene in the early 1950s. Although ferrocene is still at the forefront of research, this two-volume book highlights the development of metallocene chemistry, and emphasizes the similarities and differences between ferrocene and other metallocenes. Do you require a transition metal to build metallocenes? Must the planes of the cyclopentadienyl ligands be parallel to allow the compound to behave like a typical metallocene? Do zirconocenes react by the same mechanism ...
Catalytic asymmetric synthesis has been one of the most active research areas in chemistry (Nobel Prize in 2001). The development of efficient chiral catalysts plays a crucial role in asymmetric catalysis. Although many chiral ligands/catalysts have been developed in the past decades, the most efficient catalysts are derived from a few core structures, called "privileged chiral catalysts". This ultimate "must have" and long awaited reference for every chemist working in the field of asymmetric catalysis starts with the core structure of the catalysts, explaining why a certain ligand or catalyst is so successful. It describes in detail the history, the basic structural characteristics, and th...
Ferrocene—the prototypical metallocene—is a fascinating molecule. Even though it was first discovered over fifty years ago, research into ferrocene-containing compounds continues apace, largely stimulated by their successful applications in catalysis, materials science and bioorganometallic chemistry. Ferrocene derivatives are now recognised as useful starting materials for the preparation of new organometallic complexes and functional materials, efficient catalyst components, as well as redox-active modifiers to biomolecules. Ferrocenes: Ligands, Materials and Biomolecules provides the reader with a background overview and describes recent advances in the development and application of ferrocene compounds, including: synthesis and catalytic utilisation of chiral and non-chiral ferrocene ligands ferrocene-based sensors electrooptical materials ferrocene polymers liquid-crystalline materials crystal engineering with ferrocene compounds the bioorganometallic chemistry of ferrocene Ferrocenes: Ligands, Materials and Biomolecules is an essential guide for anyone working in the fields of organometallic synthesis and catalysis, materials science and bioorganometallic chemistry.
Recent results on a wide array of catalytic processes are collected in this volume. The book illustrates the importance of computational modelling in homogeneous catalysis by providing up-to-date reviews of its application to a variety of reactions of industrial interest.
