Short Description
The first book about chirality as it applies to transition metals, Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry uses practical applications and real-world examples to introduce readers to this new field of inorganic chemistry. The beginning of this text provides an overview of chirality, a discussion of absolute configurations and system descriptors, and the physical properties of enantiomers while subsequent chapters explain applications to transition metals in greater detail. Advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and academic and industrial researchers in inorganic chemistry will benefit from this essential introductory text.
Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is an essential introduction to this increasingly important field for students and researchers in inorganic chemistry. Emphasising applications and real-world examples, the book begins with an overview of chirality, with a discussion of absolute configurations and system descriptors, physical properties of enantiomers, and principles of resolution and preparation of enantiomers. The subsequent chapters deal with the the specifics of chirality as it applies to transition metals
Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is the latest addition to the Wiley Inorganic Chemistry Advanced Textbook series. This series reflects the pivotal role of modern inorganic and physical chemistry in a whole range of emerging areas such as materials chemistry, green chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as providing a solid grounding in established areas such as solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, main group chemistry and physical inorganic chemistry.
