Early Transition Metal Clusters with pi-Donor Ligands

The discovery and evolution of oranometallic cluster chemistry is a major event in the development of inorganic chemistry. This is the second volume in the series ‘The Chemistry of Metal Clusters’ edited by Du Shriver, Herb Kaesz, and Richard Adams.<br> <br> This volume focuses on the chemistry of the early transition elements in their lower and middle oxidation states, i.e., halide, sulfide, oxide, phosphate, alkoxide, and related o-donor ligands. The key feature linking all these complexes in metal-metal bonding is the presence of pi-donor ligands.
