Compiled by a new editorial team, this volume provides an invaluable resource covering many aspects of organometallic and coordination chemistry. The book has been developed through contributions from future leaders in organometallic chemistry at the forefront of their research. With continued increases and expansion of chemical literature, researchers can find it challenging to keep up with recent developments. The volume provides a comprehensive overview of emerging themes and key developments in the field. The reviews in this volume reflect current interests and range in scope from the application of heterobimetallic complexes in catalysis, to progress in dinitrogen functionalisation, the role of Lewis acids in Ni-catalysis, hydrogenation of CO2, and the photo-induced activity of main group metals and metalloids. It also includes computational strategies for modelling excited states in organometallic chemistry. This volume is a key reference for researchers in academic and industrial settings.
