Chirality In Transition Metal Chemistry: Molecules, Supramolecular Assemblies And Materials( Series - Inorganic Chemistry: A Wiley Textbook Series )

"Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry" shows how transition metal chirality has an important role in coordination, organometallic and supramolecular systems, and discusses applications in organic synthesis, materials science, and molecular recognition.

The book begins with an overview of chirality, with a discussion of absolute configurations and system descriptors, physical properties of enantiomers, and principles of resolution and preparation of enantiomers. The subsequent chapters deal with the the specifics of chirality as it applies to transition metals, including examples of:

chirality at metal half sandwich compounds including Brunner and Gladysz chiral compounds

chiral-at-metal complexes in organic synthesis, including Davies and Liebeskind chiral complexes

homogeneous catalysis by chiral complexes

chiral ferrocene ligands in asymmetric catalysis

chiral recognition in coordination compounds

introduction to DNA discrimination by chiral octahedral metal complexes

chirality in supramolecular coordination compounds

the new field of chiral materials, including chiral metal conductors and chiral networks based on optically active bricks

"Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry" is an essential introduction to this increasingly important field for students and researchers in inorganic chemistry.
