Seit Alfred Werner seine Koordinationslehre vor etwas mehr als hundert Jahren formulierte, hat sich die Komplexchemie der Übergangsmetalle rasant zu einem der wichtigsten Forschungsgebiete der Anorganischen Chemie entwickelt. Wie facettenreich die Koordinationschemie sein kann, deutet sich schon an der Variabilität der Verbindungen an, zu denen so kleine Moleküle wie Hexacarbonylchrom ebenso wie Metallenzyme gehören. Dieses Lehrbuch richtet sich an Studenten im Hauptstudium. Alle wichtigen Aspekte der Koordinationschemie - beispielsweise die Ligandenfeldtheorie, die Bindungstheorie, die Eigenschaften, Reaktivität und Strukturen der Komplexe, die Reaktionsmechanismen und die spektroskopischen Untersuchungsmethoden - sind enthalten. Verschaffen Sie sich einen Einblick in dieses faszinierende Gebiet von den Anfängen bis hin zu den modernsten Entwicklungen.

Highlighting the key aspects and latest advances in the rapidly developing field of molecular catalysis, this book covers new strategies to investigate reaction mechanisms, the enhancement of the catalysts' selectivity and efficiency, as well as the rational design of well-defined molecular catalysts. The interdisciplinary author team with an excellent reputation within the community discusses experimental and theoretical studies, along with examples of improved catalysts, and their application in organic synthesis, biocatalysis, and supported organometallic catalysis. As a result, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the catalytic transformations, allowing them to adapt the knowledge to their own investigations. With its ideal combination of fundamental and applied research, this is an essential reference for researchers and graduate students both in academic institutions and in the chemical industry. With a foreword by Nobel laureate Roald Hoffmann.

Since the first application of dendrimers in catalysis in the mid 1990s, this field has advanced rapidly. As a consequence, catalytically active dendrimers have emerged as a class of molecular catalysts that has substantially enriched the field of homogeneous (and in part heterogeneous) catalysis. A general survey of transition metal dendrimer catalysts and the way they have developed is followed by in-depth discussions of dendritic transition metal catalysis based on non-covalent catalyst-support interaction and an overview of the rapidly growing field of stereoselective dendrimer catalysis. The development of dendrimer-encapsulated bimetallic nanoparticles has provided the interface with heterogeneous colloid catalysis. As cheaper and readily accessible alternatives to regular dendrimers, hyperbranched polymers are increasingly being used as catalyst platforms. These topics are complemented by a review of metallodendritic exoreptors for the redox recognition of oxo-anions and halides.
