Description:

Metal-metal bonded dimers and clusters in which the metals are in low oxidation states and associated with pi-acceptor ligands represent a large group of inorganic compounds. Research interest in the area has been generaqted in part by potential uses of some compounds as catalysts and, in respect of the clusters, for their possible use as molecular models for surfaces. Bonding in many of the compounds is not readily rationalized in terms of localized bonding schemes.There is a gap in the market for a relatively basic text which is aimed specifically at undergraduates.

Synopsis:

The potential commercial uses of some compounds as catalysts has generated much research interest. Metal-metal bonded dimers and clusters are an example of these. This concise basic approach to the subject covers among other topics: structure of metal-metal bonded dimers and clusters including both small and large clusters, synthesis of reprensentative dimers and clusters, and localized bonding schemes and their limitations. Highly illustrated, with a relatively basic text that includes problems, this addition to the Oxford Chemistry Primers series will be valuable to the advanced chemistry undergraduate.
