This book is part of a series that gives the broad scientific readership a comprehensive summary and critical overview of specific topics in the field of organometallic chemistry. This text focuses on transition metal complexes of neutral eta1-carbon ligands.

Contents: Yves Canac and Remi Chauvin: Neutral eta1-carbon ligands: beyond carbon monoxide; Esteban P. Urriolabeitia: Ylide Ligands; Wolfgang Petz and Gernot Frenking: Carbodiphosphoranes and related ligands; Mareike C. Jahnke and F. Ekkehardt Hahn: Chemistry of N-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligands; Tsuyoshi Kato, Eddy Maerten, Antoine Baceiredo: Non-NHCs stable singlet carbene ligands; Victorio Cadierno, Sergio E. García-Garrido: All-Carbon-Substituted Allenylidene and Related Cumulenylidene Ligands; Victorio Cadierno, Sergio E. García-Garrido: Heteroatom-Conjugated Allenylidene and Related Cumulenylidene Ligands.

Each volume of Topics in Organometallic Chemistry provides the broad scientific readership with a comprehensive summary and critical overview of a specific topic in organometallic chemistry Research in this rapidly developing transdisciplinary field is having profound influence on other areas of scientific investigation, ranging from catalytic organic synthesis to biology, medicine and material science Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
