The Mechanisms of Reactions at Transition Metal Sites

Download or read book The Mechanisms of Reactions at Transition Metal Sites written by Richard A. Henderson and published by Oxford University Press on Demand. This book was released on 1993 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the mechanisms of the reactions at transition metal sites is a key component in designing synthetic methods, developing industrial homogeneous catalysts, and investigating metalloenzymes. These mechanisms are therefore an essential part of undergraduate chemistry courses. This primer provides a broad-based, systematic guide to the fundamentals of transition-metal mechanistic chemistry, including substitution, electron transfer, and reactions of ligands. It serves as an ideal text for undergraduate students with a foundation in basic inorganic chemistry but who are new to inorganic reaction mechanisms.
