Inorganic Syntheses

This volume of <i>Inorganic Syntheses</i> spans the preparations of wide range of important inorganic, organometallic and solid-state compounds. The volume is divided into 6 chapters.  The first chapter contains the syntheses of<br /> some key early transition metal halide clusters and the very useful mononuclear molybdenum(III) synthon, MoCl₃(THF)₃.  Chapter 2 covers the synthesis of a number of cyclopentadienyl compounds, including a novel route to sodium and potassium cyclopentadienide, MC₅H₅. Chapter 3 details synthetic procedures for a range of metal-metal bonded compounds, including several with metal-metal multiple bonds. Chapter 4 contains procedures for a range of<br /> early and late transition metal compounds, each a useful synthon for further synthetic elaboration.  Chapter 5 deals<br /> with the synthesis of a number of main group compounds and ligands, while Chapter 6 covers teaching laboratory experiments.
