Synopsis

The serious study of the reaction mechanisms of transition metal com- plexes began some five decades ago. Work was initiated in the United States and Great Britain; the pioneers ofthat era were, inalphabetical order, F. Basolo, R. E. Connick, 1. O. Edwards, C. S. Garner, G. P.Haight, W. C. E. Higgision, E.1. King, R. G. Pearson, H. Taube, M.1. Tobe, and R. G. Wilkins.A larger community of research scientists then entered the field, many of them stu- dents ofthose just mentioned. Interest spread elsewhere as well, principally to Asia, Canada, and Europe. Before long, the results ofindividual studies were being consolidated into models, many of which traced their origins to the better-established field of mechanistic organic chemistry. For a time this sufficed, but major revisions and new assignments of mechanism became necessary for both ligand sub- stitution and oxidation-reduction reactions. Mechanistic inorganic chemistry thus took on a shape of its own. This process has brought us to the present time. Interests have expanded both to include new and more complex species (e.g., metalloproteins) and a wealth of new experimental techniques that have developed mechanisms in ever-finer detail. This is the story the author tells, and in so doing he weaves in the identities of the investigators with the story he has to tell. This makes an enjoyable as well as informative reading.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book is aimed at researchers in the field of inorganic reaction mechanisms. The chemical kinetics portion of the book would be widely applicable in both organic and inorganic chemistry. A third of the book would appeal to graduate students of any chemical subject, such as chemical engineering, pharmaceutical chemistry, and some medical sciences. The remainder of the book is devoted to inorganic reaction mechanisms and will be of interest to researchers. Compounds which contain metals are of interest not only to inorganic chemists, but to organic chemists and biochemists as well.
