New procedures and compounds for students and professionals in the field of inorganic chemistry

The Inorganic Syntheses series provides all users of inorganic substances with detailed and foolproof procedures for the preparation of important and timely compounds. In Volume 33, editor Dimitri Coucouvanis collects syntheses that present new or revised experimental procedures that are applicable to a variety of related compounds, as well as syntheses of individual compounds that are of interest or importance. Chapter topics are comprised of syntheses of selected supramolecules, useful reagents/ligands, solid state materials/clusters, and compounds of general interest, including mesityl-gold (I)complexes and zero valent binuclear nickel complexes, among many others

All the syntheses presented have been tested. Inorganic, organic, and organometallic chemists, as well as materials scientists, instructors, and graduate students will find the research, methods, and compounds contained here invaluable to their scientific pursuits.
