Metal Amide Chemistry

Written by internationally recognised leaders in the field, Metal Amide Chemistry is the authoritative survey of this important class of compounds, the first since Lappert and Power s 1980 book Metal and Metalloid Amides. An introduction to the topic is followed by in-depth discussions of the amide compounds of: alkali metals alkaline earth metals zinc, cadmium and mercury the transition metals group 3 and lanthanide metals group 13 metals silicon and the group 14 metals group 15 metals the actinide metals Accompanied by a substantial bibliography, this is an essential guide for researchers and advanced students in academia and research working in synthetic organometallic, organic and inorganic chemistry, materials chemistry and catalysis.
