Pincer Compounds Chemistry and Applications

Pincer Compounds: Chemistry and Applications offers valuable state-of-the-art coverage highlighting highly active areas of research?from mechanistic work to synthesis and characterization. The book focuses on small molecule activation chemistry (particularly H2 and hydrogenation), earth abundant metals (such as Fe), actinides, carbene-pincers, chiral catalysis, and alternative solvent usage. The book covers the current state of the field, featuring chapters from renowned contributors, covering four continents and ranging from still-active pioneers to new names emerging as creative strong contributors to this fascinating and promising area.

Over a decade since the publication of Morales-Morales and Jensen?s The Chemistry of Pincer Compounds (Elsevier 2007), research in this unique area has flourished, finding a plethora of applications in almost every single branch of chemistry?from their traditional application as very robust and active catalysts all the way to potential biological and pharmaceutical applications.
