Phosphorus: The Carbon Copy - From Organophosphorus To Phospha-Organic Chemistry

This volume focuses on the relationship between phosphorus and the transition metal elements and deals with the most recent aspects of unsaturated organophosphorus compounds and their coordination chemistry. Intended for graduate students as well as academic and industrial researchers, it addresses the potential of these new phosphorus compounds for applications in catalysis, molecular materials, and biochemistry. Chapters cover the phosphorus-carbon analogy; phosphinidines; terminal phosphinidene complexes; phosphaalkynes; phosphaalkenes; diphosphenes; phosphorus-carbon heterocyclic chemistry; pi - coordination complexes; and what the future might hold for phospha-organic chemistry.
