Kurzbeschreibung
The first book about chirality as it applies to transition metals, Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry uses practical applications and real-world examples to introduce readers to this new field of inorganic chemistry. The beginning of this text provides an overview of chirality, a discussion of absolute configurations and system descriptors, and the physical properties of enantiomers while subsequent chapters explain applications to transition metals in greater detail. Advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and academic and industrial researchers in inorganic chemistry will benefit from this essential introductory text.
