THE textbook on organometallic chemistry. Comprehensive and up-to-date, the German original is already a classic, making this third completely revised and updated English edition a must for graduate students and lecturers in chemistry, inorganic chemists, chemists working with/on organometallics, bioinorganic chemists, complex chemists, and libraries. Over one third of the chapters have been expanded to incorporate developments since the previous editions, while the chapter on organometallic catalysis in synthesis and production appears for the first time in this form. From the reviews of the first English editions: 'The selection of material and the order of its presentation is first class … Students and their instructors will find this book extraordinarily easy to use and extraordinarily useful.' -Chemistry in Britain 'Elschenbroich and Salzer have written the textbook of choice for graduate or senior-level courses that place an equal emphasis on main group element and transition metal organometallic chemistry. … this book can be unequivocally recommended to any teacher or student of organometallic chemistry.' – Angewandte Chemie International Edition 'The breadth and depth of coverage are outstanding, and the excitement of synthetic organometallic chemistry comes across very strongly.' – Journal of the American Chemical Society

This collection of data on more than 130 chemicals gives users the facts they need to recognize and describe potentially dangerous chemicals. Thorough and well-structured information is given on: – physiochemical data, – toxicological and ecotoxicological aspects, – threshhold values, – use and disposes of many industrial chemicals and herbicides. The systematic depiction of data enables comparisons among chemicals to be drawn. A General Section discusses the basis and procedure necessary to judge how dangerous the chemicals are. The most important legal regulations are listed and a glossary ensures that the user can easily understand the descriptions. In the Third Edition the data was updated and supplemented with information on ecotoxicology, expositions, environmental conduct and risk to the environment.
