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 metalsalkaline earth metalszinc, cadmium and mercurythe transition metalsgroup 3 and lanthanide metalsgroup 13 metalssilicon and the group 14 metalsgroup 15 metalsthe 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.
