Systematically covering all areas of the periodic table, this is a comprehensive and handy introduction to metal- metal bonding.
The 15 chapters follow a uniform, coherent structure for a clear overview, allowing readers easy access to the information. The important molecules at the genesis of each area mentioned but the focus lies principally on research published since 2005. Important topics such as synthesis, properties, structures, notable features, reactivity and examples of applications of the most important compounds in each group with metal-metal bonding throughout the periodic table are the key to this book.
With its general remarks at the beginning of each chapter, this is a must-have reference for all molecular inorganic chemists, including PhD students and postdocs, as well as more experienced researchers.
