Carboranes by Russell N. Grimes

Carboranes, moment Edition is designed as a entire resource of data in a box that has skilled huge, immense development in either its basic and utilized features within the 4 a long time because the booklet of Carboranes (1970). in this lengthy interval hundreds of thousands of unique learn papers have seemed, besides many evaluation articles and publication chapters facing elements of carborane chemistry. As carborane technology has grown in complexity, and functions have complex progressively in components akin to drugs, nanostructured and electroactive fabrics, catalysis, polymers, and others, the necessity for a monograph protecting the whole zone in a unified therapy has develop into more and more apparent.

This quantity has crucial targets, the 1st of that's to supply a readable and concise advent to the fundamental rules underlying the synthesis, buildings, reactivity, and purposes of carboranes and metallacarboranes at a degree appropriate for readers in and academe who're now not educated in boron chemistry yet locate themselves operating with, or lecturing approximately carboranes. Secondly, the booklet furnishes a trove of unique info for staff lively in carborane technology and linked applied sciences. in this case, it accommodates tables directory hundreds of thousands of particular compounds keyed to literature references, including greater than 2,000 molecular constitution drawings that light up the accompanying dialogue. Thorough therapy of the synthesis, buildings, and reactions of carboranes, heterocarboranes, and metallacarboranes within the first thirteen chapters is by way of 4 chapters detailing advances in functional purposes in polymer technological know-how, catalysis, drugs, and different parts.

• Includes over 2,000 molecular constitution drawings throughout the text
• Features tables directory hundreds of thousands of compounds with key literature references
