This volume addresses theoretical and experimental methodologies applicable to the structure and reactivity of organometallic compounds. The principles of ab initio and density functional theory, as well as integrated force field-quantum chemistry approaches are outlined.

Two young girls in an alternate history version of the United States in 1822 become embroiled in a conspiracy to split the alliance between the United States and the Iroquois Confederation. Winner: Best Young Adult Novel of 2012 by the Maryland Writers' Association.

General The making and breaking of carbon-metal bonds is fundamental to all the p- cesses of organometallic chemistry and moreover plays a significant role in - mogeneous as well as heterogeneous catalysis. This rather blunt statement - phasises the extent to which a proper understanding of the structure, energetics and reactivity of C-M bonds is at the core of the discipline. In order to accept it, a proper definition of the terms involved is required. Quite simply we define the metal-carbon bond in its broadest sense to embrace carbon linked to transiti- metals, lanthanides and actinides,...
