Organometallic Ion Chemistry features eight chapters, written by
acknowledged authorities, covering the gas-phase chemistry of
organometallic ions. Topics covered include: periodic trends in
gas-phase thermochemistry of transition metal-ligand systems; ab
initio calculations to determine electronic structure, geometric
structure, and thermochemistry of metal-containing systems; electronic
state effects on metal ion reactivity; organometallic ion
photochemistry; applications of gas-phase electron transfer equilibria
in organometallic redox thermochemistry. Also included are state of the
art mass spectrometric instrumentation used in such studies. Finally,
the book features - for the first time in one place - a comprehensive
list (containing over 1500 entries) of metal ion-ligand bond energies,
obtained from theory and experiment.
An invaluable reference source for ion chemists, organometallic chemists
and surface chemists, at both expert and graduate student levels.
