Organometallic Ion Chemistry

Organometallic Ion Chemistry features eight chapters, written by acknowledged authorities, covering the gas-phase chemistry of organometallic ions. Topics covered include: periodic trends in gas-phase thermochemistry of transition metal-ligand systems; ab initio calculations to determine electronic structure, geometric structure, and thermochemistry of metal-containing systems; electronic state effects on metal ion reactivity; organometallic ion photochemistry; applications of gas-phase electron transfer equilibria in organometallic redox thermochemistry. Also included are state of the art mass spectrometric instrumentation used in such studies. Finally, the book features - for the first time in one place - a comprehensive list (containing over 1500 entries) of metal ion-ligand bond energies, obtained from theory and experiment.
An invaluable reference source for ion chemists, organometallic chemists and surface chemists, at both expert and graduate student levels.
