This volume of Inorganic Syntheses spans the preparations of wide range of important inorganic, organometallic and solid-state compounds. The volume is divided into 6 chapters. The first chapter contains the syntheses of
some key early transition metal halide clusters and the very useful mononuclear molybdenum(III) synthon, MoCl₃(THF)₃. Chapter 2 covers the synthesis of a number of cyclopentadienyl compounds, including a novel route to sodium and potassium cyclopentadienide, MC₅H₅. Chapter 3 details synthetic procedures for a range of...
