Organo Main Group Chemistry (eBook)

Forging a new association; main group elements and organic
chemistry

Covering the essentials of all main group elements in organic
chemistry, along with the synthesis and reactions of their organic
compounds in just one volume, Organo Main Group Chemistry breaks
important new ground. While main group chemistry has traditionally
been classified as part of inorganic chemistry, this book
establishes the organic chemistry of main group elements for the
first time.

The organic compounds of elements in the second period of the
periodic table, which are centered around carbon, are the major
components of animals and plants, while those in the third period
and below also play key roles worthy of discussion when studying
main group element chemistry.

The major chapters describe synthesis and reactivity of organic
compounds in the third period and below and are arranged according
to the order of the periodic table. Starting with the role of
lithium and magnesium cations, the chapters reach fluorine and
iodine compounds. The first two chapters summarize the unique and
common characteristics of main group elements in relation to
carbon. The latter chapters deal with modern topics that address
the unique characteristics of organo main group compounds.

Suitable for professional researchers, chemistry professors, and
advanced students, Organo Main Group Chemistry presents a novel new
approach to the way we view both main groups and organic chemistry
itself.
