Diazo Chemistry II: Aliphatic, Inorganic and Coordination Compounds

Diazo compounds play an important role as reaction intermediates and reagents in organic synthesis. This book is a critical, well- referenced and eminently readable introduction to the chemistry of aliphatic, inorganic and organometallic diazo compounds. It provides well-researched information that could otherwise be obtained only by costly and time-consuming searches of multi-volume treatises and the original literature.Topics covered in depth include:- preparation and structure of diazo compounds- kinetics and mechanism of diazotizations- reactions of diazo compounds- applications in organic synthesis- metal complexes with diazonium and diazo compoundsMany tables and reaction schemes as well as copious literature citations make this book a highly valuable reference work for synthetic organic chemists, inorganic chemists, organometallic chemists and industrial chemists.Already available: Volume 1 of Diazo Chemistry covering aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds.
