Kinetics and Mechanism of Reactions of Transition Metal Complexes, 2nd Edition By Prof. Ralph G. Wilkins(auth.)
2002 | 476 Pages | ISBN: 352728253X | PDF | 4 MB
This thoroughly revised and updated edition of one of the classics of kinetics text books continues the successful concept of the 1974 edition: In its first part, a simplified approach to the determination of rate laws and mechnisms is given steadily working up to complex situations. In the following chapters the principles developed there are extensively used in a comprehensive account of reactions of transition metal complexes, including reactions of biological signifacance. The text is illustrated by numerous figures and tables. Points of further interest are highlighted in special insets. 140 problems, taken from the original literature, enable the student to apply and deepen his newly acquired knowledge and make the book highly useful for courses in inorganic and organometallic reaction mechanisms. Furthermore, a wealth of over 1700 references renders it an indispensable work for the active researcher. Content: Chapter 1 The Determination of the Rate Law (pages 1-64): Chapter 2 The Deduction of Mechanism (pages 65-130): Chapter 3 The Experimental Determination of the Rate of Reaction (pages 131-198): Chapter 4 Substitution Reactions (pages 199-256): Chapter 5 Oxidation?Reduction Reactions (pages 257-297): Chapter 6 The Modification of Ligand Reactivity by Complex Formation (pages 299-332): Chapter 7 Isomerism and Stereochemical Change (pages 333-371): Chapter 8 A Survey of the Transition Elements (pages 373-441):
