This series offers leading contributions by well-known chemists reviewing the state of the art of this wide research area. Physical organometallic chemistry aims to develop new insights and to promote novel interest and investigations applicable to organometallic chemistry. This volume focuses on several important topics on fluxionality in organometallic and coordination chemistry, reviewed by experts in each of the respective fields. It is intended to provide both authoritative concepts and stimulating ideas in order to tackle dynamics from different angles, aiming at an interdisciplinary approach. The fascinating fluxionality of metal-ligand interactions has been in the centre of interest ever since modern coordination and organometallic chemistry started, and has expanded towards bioinorganic chemistry, catalysis and materials sciences. Provides information on some of the most relevant physical methods for studying dynamic processesPresents numerous examples of dynamic behavior, demonstrating the efficiency of the respective method and stimulating further applicationsConnects main group, transition metal and solid state chemistry in the question for dynamics

The principal idea of this volume is to offer a Capita Selecta of unconventional and thought-provoking topics in organometallic chemistry, presented by experts in each field. As intended, this approach leads either to reviews covering a specific uncommon class of organometallic compounds or to overviews which relate uncommon physical properties with various classes of organometallic compounds. The contributions are streamlined thus onto two main axes - unusual properties reflecting structures and bonding situations, on the one hand, and uncommon structural features or structure-reactivity relationships, on the other. Extensive cross-referencing of useful information is provided, making this volume accessible for people working in rather different areas of organometallic chemistry.The synthesis of molecules with 'extreme' properties is a challenge for all those working in organometallic chemistry, irrelevant of theoretical/computational, synthetic or application interests. This book presents case studies at the interface of these overlapping interests.Unusual Structures and Physical Properties in Organometallic Chemistry:* Provides test cases for computational and theoretical models* Presents a challenge for synthetic chemists* Provides ideal show cases for analytical techniquesThis volume will be an invaluable reference for researchers in organometallic chemistry, computational and theoretical chemistry, NMR and other spectroscopic methods.

This new series offers leading contributions by well known chemists reviewing the state-of-the-art of this wide research area. Physical Organometallic Chemistry aims to develop new insights and to promote novel interest and investigations applicable to organometallic chemistry. NMR spectroscopy has had a considerable impact on many fields of chemistry, although it has served organometallic chemistry mainly on a routine level. In a collection of reviews, leading chemists provide an insight into the scope of applications and uncover the potential of this technique for organometallic chemists. Advanced Applications of NMR to Organometallic Chemistry; Illustrates how recent 1D and 2D and specialized multinuclear applications can solve specific problems encountered by organometallic chemistsSurveys modern NMR techniques in organometallic chemistryIncludes metal NMR related techniquesFocuses on the advent of solid state NMR in organometallic chemistryThis book will prove invaluable to the NMR spectroscopist and organometallic chemists and will also be of interest to all organic, inorganic and physical chemists Contents: Selective Excitation and Selective Detection in 29Si NMR; Two-dimensional 13C, Metal Nuclei Correlation; Two-dimensional 1H-119Sn Proton Detected Correlation Spectroscopy in Coordination Chemistry of Hypervalent Organotin Compounds; Indirect Nuclear 119Sn-X Spin-Spin Coupling; Solid State NMR Applications in Organotin and Organolead Chemistry; Solid State NMR Investigations of Metal Carbonyl Complexes; High Pressure NMR in Organometallic Chemistry; Multinuclear NMR Spectroscopy in Supercritical Fluids; High Resolution 6,7Li NMR of Organolithium Compounds; Metal NMR of Organovanadium, -Niobium and -Tantalum Compounds; NMR of Metallic Nuclei in Clusters; 171Yb NMR Spectroscopy.
