Fluxional Organometallic and Coordination Compounds

Part of the "Physical Organometallic Chemistry" series, this volume begins with general chapters describing experimental methods that have been used to study dynamic processes, including solution state, solid state, liquid crystal NMR, polymer pulsed NMR, vibrational spectroscopy with neutrons, EPR, optical spectroscopy, and X ray analysis.

This series offers leading contributions by well-known chemists reviewing the state of the art of this wide research area. Physical organometallic chemistry aims to develop new insights and to promote novel interest and investigations applicable to organometallic chemistry. This volume focuses on several important topics on fluxionality in organometallic and coordination chemistry, reviewed by experts in each of the respective fields. It is intended to provide both authoritative concepts and stimulating ideas in order to tackle dynamics from different angles, aiming at an interdisciplinary approach. The fascinating fluxionality of metal-ligand interactions has been in the centre of interest ever since modern coordination and organometallic chemistry started, and has expanded towards bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis and materials sciences. Provides information on some of the most relevant physical methods for studying dynamic processesPresents numerous examples of dynamic behavior, demonstrating the efficiency of the respective method and stimulating further applicationsConnects main group, transition metal and solid state chemistry in the question for dynamics
