"A contemporary compilation of recent achievements in organometallic chemistry. Featuring contributions from invited 25th International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry speakers, Advances in Organometallic Chemistry and Catalysis highlights recent achievements and new and emerging areas of research in the field. Its seven sections cover: Activation and Functionalization of Carbon Single Bonds and Small Molecules, Organometallic Synthesis and Catalysis, Organometallic Polymerization Catalysis, Organometallic Polymers and Materials, Organometallic Chemistry and Sustainable Energy, Bioorganometallic Chemistry, and Organometallic Electrochemistry. Chapters discuss fundamental underlying concepts, offer illustrative examples and cases, and explore future avenues for continued research. Readers will discover basic principles and properties of organometallic compounds, reaction mechanisms, and detailed descriptions of current applications. Collectively, these chapters underscore the versatility, richness, and potential of modern organometallic chemistry, including its interrelationships with other scientific disciplines. All the contributions are extensively referenced, providing a gateway to the most important original research papers and reviews in organometallic chemistry. Presenting a contemporary understanding of organometallic chemistry and its many applications, this book is recommended for all researchers in the field, from students to advanced investigators."
