Continuing a bestselling text's legacy of presenting our current understanding of d block organometallic compounds, their reactivity, and use in synthesis

Fully updated to reflect recent advances, the 8th edition of The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals provides readers with a comprehensive introduction to the principles and general properties of organometallic compounds as well as practical information on reaction mechanisms and detailed descriptions of contemporary applications. Maintaining the style from prior editions, the author replaces older or dated citations with current ones and changes coverage of the subject to keep the material up to date.

The new edition emphasizes such growing topics as organic applications, nanoclusters, electro- and photo-catalysis, computational studies, radical pathways, spin state effects, molecular electronics, proton coupled electron transfer, and alternative energy applications. It also adds new X-ray techniques and computational aspects that can help students design more detailed experiments.

The book includes select problems as an online ancillary, available via a companion site for adopting professors, to help instructors create exam problem sets for their students.

Sample topics covered in The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals include:



Werner complexes, the trans effect, soft versus hard ligands and metals, the crystal and ligand fields, and choice of metals
The 18 Electron Rule, bridging ligands, electron counting in reactions, Z ligands and the oxidation state concept and its limitations
Structure, bonding, synthesis, and reactivity of metal carbenes
Dissociative, associative, and photochemical substitution
Radical and ionic mechanisms, reductive elimination, and oxidative coupling

A long-time bestseller, this new edition of The Organometallic Chemistry of the Transition Metals continues to be the leading textbook on the subject for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in organic chemistry, organometallic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and bioinorganic chemistry and practicing chemists in related fields.

Robert H. Crabtree, F.R.S., is a Research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Yale University. He has served on the editorial boards of Chemical Reviews and Organometallics and has received numerous awards for his research accomplishments including the Centenary Prize of the Royal Society of Chemistry (2014) and election to the National Academy of Sciences (2017).
