Advances in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis (PDF)

A contemporary compilation of recent achievements in
organometallic chemistry

The prestigious International Conference on Organometallic
Chemistry (ICOMC) was launched in 1963, providing a forum for
researchers from around the world to share their findings and
explore new paths to advance our knowledge and application of
organometallic chemistry. The 25th ICOMC, held in Lisbon in 2012,
gathered more than 1,200 participants from 54 countries. This
volume celebrates the 25th Silver Edition and the 50th Gold Year of
the ICOMC.

Featuring contributions from invited 25th ICOMC speakers,
Advances in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis
highlights recent achievements and new and emerging areas of
research in the field. Its seven sections cover:

* Activation and Functionalization of Carbon Single Bonds and
Small Molecules

* Organometallic Synthesis and Catalysis

* Organometallic Polymerization Catalysis

* Organometallic Polymers and Materials

* Organometallic Chemistry and Sustainable Energy

* Bioorganometallic Chemistry

* Organometallic Electrochemistry

Chapters discuss fundamental underlying concepts, offer
illustrative examples and cases, and explore future avenues for
continued research. Readers will discover basic principles and
properties of organometallic compounds, reaction mechanisms, and
detailed descriptions of current applications. Collectively, these
chapters underscore the versatility, richness, and potential of
modern organometallic chemistry, including its interrelationships
with other scientific disciplines.

All the contributions are extensively referenced, providing a
gateway to the most important original research papers and reviews
in organometallic chemistry. Presenting a contemporary
understanding of organometallic chemistry and its many
applications, Advances in Organometallic Chemistry and
Catalysis is recommended for all researchers in the field, from
students to advanced investigators.
