Description

Written for advanced undergraduate and graduate inorganic chemistry students, this Primer investigates a large group of inorganic compounds of metal-metal bonded carbonyl dimers and clusters in which metals are in low oxidation states and associated with (pi)-acceptor ligands. Some of these compounds can be used as catalysts as well as molecular models for surfaces. Students find these compounds difficult to come to terms with because they do not fit readily into localized bonding schemes. This book begins with a discussion of the synthesis, structures, and localized bonding of binary metal carbonyls. It moves through bonding schemes and reactivity patterns for transition metal clusters, hydrides, and terminal phosphine and bridging phosphido ligands, to metal carbonyl dimers and clusters with organic ligands. It concludes with a discussion of clusters containing p-block atoms other than carbon, and has a section of problems for self-study.
