Divalent Carbon(0) Compounds as Promising Ligands in Coordination Chemistry

Perplexing Coordination Behaviour of Potentially Bridging Bipyridyl-Type Ligands in the Coordination Chemistry of Zinc and Cadmium 1,1-Dithiolate Compounds

The X-ray structural chemistry of zinc and cadmium 1,1-dithiolates (for example, xanthate, dithiophosphate and dithiocarbamate) with potentially bridging bipyridyl-type ligands (for example, 4,4′-bipyridine) is reviewed. For zinc, the xanthates and dithiophosphates uniformly form one-dimensional coordination polymers, whereas the zinc dithiocarbamates are always zero-dimensional, reflecting the...

Organozinc Coordination Chemistry and Catalytic Effects of Organozinc Coordination Compounds

A review of the present state of organozinc coordination chemistry. with special emphasis on compounds of the type RZnX is given. Their preparation as well as some factors determining their structure and stability are discussed. Certain organozinc coordination compounds have been found to be effective catalysts for cyclo-oligomerization and polymerization reactions. in particular of oxygen-cont...

Isomers in the Chemistry of Germanium Coordination Compounds

The coordination chemistry of germanium covers quite bulk fields, as shown by a survey covering the crystallographic and structural data of over two hundred examples. About ten percent of those complexes exist as distortion isomers and are summarised. These are discussed in terms of the coordination around the germanium(I), germanium(II) and germanium(IV) atoms, and correlations are drawn betwe...

Advances In The Chemistry of The Coordination Compounds

basic scientific contributions in the field of pharmacology. This volume covers 15 scientific subjects of major interest. The basic scientific principles of pharmacology rather than the use of drugs as therapeutic agents is stressed throughout. The introductory chapter by Gaddum tracing the growth of pharmacology in Edinburgh is followed by the highlights of pharmacology in China, India and Cen...
