The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals Robert H. Crabtree is an English-language textbook about organometallic chemistry. The book provides an extensive introduction to the properties, synthesis, and applications of organometallic compounds, with special attention to the organometallics of the transition metals.
This seventh edition has been updated with recent developments in the field and covers, among other things, reaction mechanisms, applications in organic synthesis, nanotechnology, and green chemistry. New topics are also addressed, such as computational chemistry, energy production, and biochemical aspects of organometallic chemistry. The chapters include ligand assistance, proton-coupled electron transfer, surface and cooperative catalysis, and photoredox processes.
The book is intended for professionals and students in chemistry and aligns well with topics such as organometallic chemistry, both organic and inorganic. This reference work provides a solid foundation for anyone who wants to delve into the modern applications of transition metals in organometallic chemistry.
