Organotransition Metal Chemistry: From Bonding to Catalysis

Dr. Hartwig, as one of the leaders in organometallic research, has written the best reference on the subject. Any entering graduate student in the field or allied fields will do well to have this tome on their shelf. Many groups use this as the reference for their own research and a cursory glance will tell you why. Filled to the brim with seminal references and on just about every topic imaginable. This book is the organometallic equivalent to organic's Carey and Sundberg's Advanced Organic Chemistry. Great text to bring anyone up to speed in the field while pulling double duty as the first stop for researchers.

I liked it because it was a book that was difficult to read, yet it did a decent job explaining old theories and explaining why they are not longer followed and introducing the updated theories. It was a book for my organometallics class!

10/10

This book is perfect for anyone interested in organometallic chemistry; It touches every theme important in the field in a order ideal for a better comprehension.Its introduction to the field of catalysis make it one of the most complete books in the field.I really recommend it to every student of the field, and for anyone who wants to actualize his/her knowledge.

If you're looking for a reference text in the field of organometallic chemistry, this book is an excellent option. It has a lot of references that may help if you want to get deeper in some topics. It would be great if some problems were included, but despite that, it's a good book (heavy, big, but a good book).

This book arrived quickly, and was in excellent condition.I used this book a lot for my graduate course. It does contain some mistakes, but it is a first edition.I know I will be using this book in the future. It contains not only theory and background, but uses research as examples.Very well written, highly recommended.

Exellent reading material for those wishing to go into organometallic research as an intermediate reference. The problem sets introduce concepts clearly and has excellent, up-to-date pictures and graphics of complexes, theoretical knowledge, and mathematical explanations.

This book is organized badly, poorly written and cheaply bound. The subtitles used to indicate authorship for specific sections of the text are stupid. Beyond the hundreds of typos that one can often find in a poorly written first edition of this size, there are errors in key figures that create unnecessary confusion, and there is some information that is just wrong. Replacing sensibly bound, carefully written and organized teaching texts with this mess puts the student at a significant disadvantage and wastes time and money. The book should have never been published in the present form.

Hartwig’s “Organotransition Metal Chemistry” is the most complete book on the topic I’ve come across, and has hugely improved my understanding of transition metal chemistry and mechanism.The chapters follow much the same format as the predecessor and cover each of the key mechanistic steps: oxidative edition, reductive elimination etc, followed by chapters on catalysis and specific reactions (Suzuki, Heck etc).Being such a huge book, the coverage is both broad and detailed, making it a great reference but not always the best book to quickly read up on something. It is also showing its age somewhat, not covering any of the recent Ir/Ru/Ni based photoredox chemistry (hopefully in a future edition).As previously, University Science Books do a terrible job of printing and binding. The paper is super thin and I’ve had several copies literally fall apart.Overall. A great detailed book, let down only by the publisher.

This is an amazingly holistic book for organometallic chemistry. The hard binding is quite good and the pages are smooth to touch and turn without damaging the texture of the pages. The printing of the book is well resolved and comfortably readable. A good shot to delve in the field of catalysis by transition metals.

Consegna nei tempi previsti. Consiglio questo libro a tutti i professionisti nel campo della chimica organometallica e della catalisi omogenea. È ricchissimo di informazioni, stimoli al ragionamento, concetti di carattere generale ed esempi corredati da immagini chiare e descrittive. Eccellente la sezione sui meccanismi in chimica organometallica!D'altronte dal prof. Hartwig non ci si poteva aspettare di meglio!
