Providing an invaluable resource, this volume contains analysed, evaluated and distilled information on the latest in organometallic and coordination chemistry research and emerging fields. With continued increases in the variety of information available, researchers can find it difficult to keep up to date with the literature in their field. The reviews in this volume range in scope and include recent developments in homogeneous catalysis for the functionalization of carbon dioxide, early transition metal complexes and their uses in medicinal chemistry, homogeneous gold catalysis under microwave irradiation: a greener approach and properties of metal complexes of mesoionic carbenes. This volume is a key reference for researchers in academic and industrial settings.
