Iron-Carbene Complexes

by Wolfgang Petz, J. Faust (With), J. Fïssel (With)

Overview

E.O. Fischer received the Nobel prize in 1973 for the investigations of complexes with a formal metal atom-carbon double bond. Among these, the Iron-Carbene species is readily available and has proved to be a versatile reagent in organic syntheses. It is rather simple to tune the electronicproperties of this Fischer Carbene and to control reactivity and stereospecificity of the reagent in, e.g.,
cyclopropanation reactions.
This first volume of the "Scripts in Inorganic and Organome-
tallic Chemistry" addresses graduate students in the fields ofcoordination compounds and organic synthesis. It covers the chemistry and structural aspects of iron-carbon com-
pounds with a iron-carbon double bond. The first part deals with the carbene moiety, the second with vinylidene ligands.

Editorial Reviews

Begins a series by the Gmelin Institute for Inorganic Chemistry of the Max Planck Society; based on the Gmelin Handbook of Inorganic and Organometallic Chemistry, volumes will review selected areas in a textbook style for researchers and advanced students. The first volume covers compounds with a formal iron- to-carbon double bond. No bibliography or index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
