Chapter 5: Metallocenes and Metallacarboranes Check Access

Electrochemical Behaviour of First Row Transition Metal Sandwich Complexes: Metallocenes and MetallacarboranesChapter 5 opens Part 3 on the applicative aspects of inorganic electrochemistry, dealing with two milestones in organometallic chemistry: metallocenes and metallacarboranes. An accurate selection of representative derivatives, ranging from mononuclear to polynuclear complexes, experimentally illustrates the theory of electron transfers discussed in Chapter 1 and the different electrode mechanisms discussed in Chapter 2, and also makes comprehensive the meaning of topics such as intramolecular communication and mixed valency.
