Fluxional Organometallic and Coordination Compounds

This series offers leading contributions by well-known chemists reviewing the state of the art of this wide research area. Physical organometallic chemistry aims to develop new insights and to promote novel interest and investigations applicable to organometallic chemistry. Structure and reactivity are complex functions of various dynamic processes. The understanding of these dynamic properties is based on theoretical concepts (e.g. graph theory, Jahn-Teller effect) and the application of advanced physical methods (e.g. NMR-, EPR-, µ-SR spectroscopy or INS). This volume focuses on several important topics on fluxionality in organometallic and coordination chemistry, reviewed by experts in each of the respective fields. It is intended to provide both authoritative concepts and stimulating ideas in order to tackle dynamics from different angles, aiming at an interdisciplinary approach. The fascinating fluxionality of metal-ligand interactions has been in the centre of interest ever since modern coordination and organometallic chemistry started, and has expanded towards bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis and materials sciences. Fluxional Organometallic and Coordination Compounds Provides information on some of the most relevant physical methods for studying dynamic processes Presents numerous examples of dynamic behavior, demonstrating the efficiency of the respective method and stimulating further applications Connects main group, transition metal and solid state chemistry in the question for dynamics This volume will be an invaluable reference for researchers in organometallic and coordination chemistry, in computational and theoretical chemistry, in NMR and other spectroscopic methods.
