The first authoritative book on using silver cations in organicchemistry--for catalysis and more!
With more sophisticated catalytic methodologies fueling aresurgence in the study of cation-based chemistry, gold andplatinum have stepped to the fore as the unique agents used tocreate new chemical reactions. Although these metals have become aprimary focus of researchers in the field, another coinage metalthat is often overlooked--but is as powerful as theothers--is silver, a far less costly alternative to gold andplatinum in aiding the development of new reactions.
Making a strong case for the use of silver as a catalyst andstructural element in organometal constructs, this authoritativebook is the first to explore the benefits of using silver inorganic chemistry by taking a close look at silver's uniquereactivity and structural characteristics for the development ofnew methods and materials. Silver in Organic Chemistryis:
* The first book to address catalysis using silver, whose use inorganic chemistry is on the verge of exploding
* A resource for researchers wishing to do chemistry with silvercations, an area that stands in the shadow of gold chemistry, butstill glistens, demonstrating that all that glitters is notgold--sometimes it's silver!
* A guide for "first attempts" in working with silvercations
* Edited by a very well-respected, highly visible authority inthis field
Silver in Organic Chemistry promotes further scientificdiscussion by offering important new ways to examine the futurepossibilities of an emerging field. By elevating the importance ofsilver chemistry, this thought-provoking guide illustrates how thisversatile metal can become an increasingly significant player inopening the door to new catalytic organic reactions and neworganometal materials.
