About This Book
Provides vital information on organometallic compounds, their preparation, and use in synthesis, and explores the fundamentals of the field and its modern applications
Fully updated and expanded to reflect recent advances, the new, seventh edition of this bestselling text presents students and professional chemists with a comprehensive introduction to the principles and general properties of organometallic compounds, as well as including practical information on reaction mechanisms and detailed descriptions of contemporary applications. Increased focus is given to organic synthesis applications, nanoparticle science, and green chemistry. This edition features up-to-date examples of fundamental reaction steps and greater emphasis on key topics like oxidation catalysis, CH functionalization, nanoclusters and nanoparticles, and green chemistry. New coverage is added for computational chemistry, energy production, and biochemical aspects of organometallic chemistry.
The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals, Seventh Edition provides new/enhanced chapter coverage of ligand-assisted additions and eliminations; proton-coupled electron transfer; surface, supported, and cooperative catalysis; green, energy, and materials applications; and photoredox catalysis. It covers coordination chemistry; alkyls and hydrides; Pi-complexes; and oxidative addition and reductive elimination. The book also features sections on insertion and elimination; spectroscopy; metathesis polymerization and bond activation; and more.

Introduction
1.1 Why Study Organometallic Chemistry?
In 1989, OMCOS‐VI [the 6th International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry Directed Toward Organic Synthesis] took place in Florence and … left me with the impression that all important transformations could – now or in the future – be performed with the aid of adequately fine‐tuned metal catalysts. Today, it is safe to say that those early findings were key discoveries for a conceptual revolution that occurred in organic chemistry in recent years. Metal catalysts can be found everywhere, and many synthetic advances are directly linked to … developments in catalytic chemistry.
