The Chemistry of Organomanganese Compounds

The past 15 years have seen tremendous progress in manganese chemistry, with the low cost of this metal making it an attractive choice as a functional group in organic syntheses. Surveying key compounds and reaction intermediates used in organic syntheses, this is the first volume in the Patai Series to focus on manganese in organic and organometallic chemistry. With contributions by leading experts, the book delivers the usual high quality of the Patai series. It also emphasizes novel applications in organic synthesis as well as technological trends in industrial, biomedical, and materials science.

"This book continues the high standard of "The Chemistry of Functional Groups" series and is an essential resource for professional organic and inorganic chemists and their research groups who have an interest in organometallic chemistry. It could also prove useful in postgraduate teaching for designing a modern course on the subject. With the recent report of the first crystallographically characterized Mg - Mg bonded compound, this area is likely to increase in popularity and research activity; thus, the publication of this book is timely. A copy should be made available in every library that houses a section on advanced chemistry at the postgraduate level and above." ("Journal of the American Chemical Society," November 12, 2008)
