Organometallic Chemistry, Third Edition, is a textbook by Gary O. Spessard and Gary L. Miessler, specially designed with the needs of both undergraduate and graduate students in mind. The book covers the core principles of organometallic chemistry by presenting groundbreaking experiments, analyzing real data, and providing extensive practice problems.
The content begins with clear explanations of the structure and bonding of organometallic compounds, making it accessible for beginner students. In later chapters, it goes deeper into advanced topics such as reaction mechanisms, catalysis, carbene complexes, metathesis, applications in organic synthesis, and bioorganometallic chemistry.
