Title: Transition Metal Carbyne Complexes
Description: This book presents an advanced state-of-the-art report on the Fischer and Schrock type carbyne complexes and demonstrates their wide application to organic and organometallic synthesis, as well as their considerable role in metathesis. Most of the articles are written by leading researchers in this field, describing their fascinating research in their own words. This carbyne book discusses in detail the breadth and diversity of metal-carbon multiple bond chemistry of different d and f-block elements. Besides theoretical, structural, photochemical and electrochemical studies, this volume provides a fascinating introduction to heterometallic carbon-bridged compounds to conjugated complexes and polymers derived from metal-carbyne building blocks. An extensive part of this book discusses aspects of olefin metathesis, metal-induced addition, cycloaddition and carbon-carbon coupling reactions by well-characterized carbene and carbyne complexes. (abstract) This book presents an advanced state-of-the-art report on the Fischer and Schrock type carbyne complexes, discussing specific aspects of the metal carbon multiple bond chemistry of different d and f-block elements, such as synthetic, theoretical, structural, photochemical and electrochemical studies. Special chapters focus on catalysis and olefin metathesis as well as metal induced addition, cycloaddition and carbon-carbon coupling reactions.
