Kurzbeschreibung
Dieses Buch unterscheidet sich deutlich von der übrigen Literatur zur Silizium-Chemie: Es bietet einen bemerkenswert klar strukturierten und umfassenden Überblick über das Gebiet. Konzipiert sowohl für Synthetische Chemiker als auch für Chemiker anderer Bereiche, deckt es alle Aspekte organischer Siliziumchemie ab.
Dieses Werk führt allgemein in die Siliciumchemie und Organosiliciumchemie ein: Nomenklatur, Eigenschaften von Atomen und Molekülen sowie Synthesewege, die von verschiedensten Ausgangsstoffen ausgehen, sind die Schwerpunkte. Siliciumorganische Verbindungen gewinnen gegenwärtig als Ausgangsmaterialien zur Herstellung hochreinen Siliciums, etwa für die Halbleiterindustrie, an Bedeutung. (09/99)

"This book was a pleasure to read. It is very well written in a relaxed chatty style that conveys the obvious deep interest and delight the author brings to the subject...the book can quite rightly claim to be the 'Eaborn' of the 2000s." (Journal of the American Chemical Society, Vol. 123, No. 5, November 2000)
In recent years there have been several books published that describe the various topical uses of silicon in organic synthesis. All of these books have been useful, but they did not present the broader picture of how the chemistry of the element silicon has had a major impact on many technologies. The author refers to some earlier "classical" books on silicon chemistry, particularly Eaborn's text of the 1960s, that set a very high and comprehensive standard by which to be judged. Without a doubt, Michael Brook has met this standard. This book was a pleasure to read. It is very well written in a relaxed and chatty style that conveys the obvious deep interest and delight the author brings to the subject. There are an impressive number of references to substantiate this scholarly text. One minor point that might (subjectively) make the book even better would be to place Chapter 14 (Electronic Effects of Silyl Group) earlier since it so germane to all of the book. The price is high, but not unreasonably so, and the book can quite rightly claim to be the "Eaborn" of the 2000s. (Phillip Magnus, University of Texas at Austin)
"...Brook discusses selected topics regarding synthesis he considers of most use to graduate students and practicing chemists." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 24, No. 4, December 2000)
"...this is a completely successful book..." (Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, 3rd November 2000)
