Phosphorus: The Carbon Copy

Phosphorus: The Carbon Copy examines the extraordinary similarity between low coordinate phosphorus compounds and unsaturated carbon compounds.
Written by three of the leading researchers in the field of modern phosphorus chemistry, Phosphorus: The Carbon Copy focuses on the interface between phosphorus and the transition metal elements and deals with the most recent aspects of unsaturated organophosphorus compounds and their coordination chemistry.
Aimed at graduate students as well as academic and industrial researchers, this concise volume publicisies the extraordinary potential of these new phosphorus compounds for applications in catalysis, molecular materials and biochemistry.Im Mittelpunkt dieser aktuellen Monographie steht der Austausch von Kohlenstoff organischer Verbindungen durch Phosphor. Die Autoren postulieren dabei, daß infolge der Schrägbeziehung im Periodensystem Kohlenstoff wesentlich mehr Analogien zu Phosphor aufweist als zu Silicium. Diskutiert werden insbesondere Phosphorverbindungen mit Mehrfachbindungen und ihre Metallkomplexe (Teil 1) sowie eine breite Palette von Organophosphorverbindungen (Teil 2).
