Applied Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis has two main objectives: to provide an overview of the influence of organometallic chemistry on homogeneous and heterogenous catalysis, and to provide an account of the principle commercial applications of homogeneous catalysis in industry. The first chapter provides some background to the subject, looking at the vital role that catalysis plays in the production of fuels and pharmaceuticals, amongst other things. The next chapter covers mechanistic organometallic chemistry. Chapter Three is related to hydroformylation and related reactions. The chapter that follows examines acetic acid and acetyl chemicals. The next two chapters look at nylon intermediates: buta- 1,3-diene hydrocyanation and olefin oligomerization and polymerization. The final chapter is about fine chemicals manufacture.

Organometallic Reagents in Synthesis looks at the properties and reactions of main group organometallic compounds, placing particular emphasis on their applications in synthesis. The book adopts a logical approach to this area of organic chemistry, and provides an account of all aspects of the field. Study problems are included at chapter ends, along with suggestions for further reading on the topic.
Book
Organometallics 1 outlines the main classes of transition metal organometallic complexes and introduces the reader to the chemistry of compounds with metal-carbon σ-bonds: metal carbonyls, metal alkyls, and metal alkylidenes and alkylidenes. The synthetic methods leading to each class of compounds are illustrated with pertinent examples, followed by the discussion of characteristic structures and reactivity patterns. The aim is to allow students a quick overview over this area of chemistry. Highlights and excursions stress general principles and relate the material to specific applications, such as catalytic processes.
Book
Organometallics 2 examines the interaction of transition metals with unsaturated molecules. This topic has led to fundamental insights in the nature of the chemical bond which, in turn, has provided the basis of important present-day applications such as transition metal mediated synthesis or homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis. This book outlines the chemistry and discusses the bonding in of some of the most important classes of organometallic compounds: the complexes of transition metals with Pi-ligands such as alkenes, alkynes, arenes, and cyclopentadienyl and allyl ligands.

Organometallics and Catalysis consists of three parts. Part I looks at the organometallic compounds of the main group elements. Part 2 focuses on the organometallic compounds of the transition metals. Part 3 examines homogeneous catalysis with organometallic transition metal complexes. There are also four appendices: the first one covers commonly used solvents and their properties; the second one, number and symmetry of infrared-active vibrations of metal-carbonyl complexes; and the other two appendices present answers to exercises and further readings.
