Direct synthesis of metal complexes

'Direct Synthesis of Metal Complexes' provides in-depth coverage of the direct synthesis of coordination and organometallic compounds.

The work is primarily organized by methods, but also covers highly relevant complexes, such as metal-polymer coordination compounds.

This updated reference discusses recent developments in cryosynthesis, electrosynthesis, and tribosynthesis (popular as it doesn't require organic solvents), with special attention paid to 'greener' methodologies and approaches.

Additionally, the book describes physical methods of zero-valent metal interaction with organic matter, including sputtering, ultrasonic treatment and synthesis in ionic liquids.
