MOLECULAR STRUCTURE & ENERGETICS V 5 - ADVANCES INBORON & THE BORANES

Advances in Boron and the Boranes Edited by Joel F. Liebman Arthur Greenberg Robert E. Williams This volume, coedited with R. E. Williams of the Loker Research Institute of the University of Southern California, is a collection of interwoven essays in homage to Professor Anton B. Burg, a pioneer of modern inorganic chemistry. The book inseparably overlaps inorganic, organic, and organometallic chemistry; applications to homogeneous catalysis and drug design complement models more of interest to physical and theoretical chemists. Two Nobel laureates, Professors Lipscomb and Pauling, have contributed essays to the volume.
