Organometallic Chemistry Notes in
Word 2003 format:
Updated January
2005: major
revisions for Hydrogenation (thanks to Janis Louie, University of Utah),
Hydroformylation, and Acetic Acid Chapters. Minor revisions for other chapters,
mainly more consistent use of ChemDraw drawings for
structures (CorelDraw for other figures). Added some
new M-M bonded electron counting examples in Chapter 1. Added new N-heterocyclic
carbene ligand page to Carbene/Alkylidene section.
Updated January
2006: minor
corrections, some added problems for chapter 1 and later chapters, new clearer M-M
bonding examples. Pd Cross-Coupling and Metathesis Chapters
contributed by Prof. Lionel Delaude, University of
Liege in Belgium (formatting edits by myself).
