Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry II, Volume 5: Vanadium and Chromium Groups

by M.J. Winter (Editor), J.a. Labinger (Editor)

In addition to providing an updated survey of organometallic compounds of the group 5 elements, these chapters highlight developments in their utilization, most of which have taken place since COMC . Some of the important topics featured include the antitumor activity of vanadocene derivatives; uses in organic synthesis; and a wide variety of catalytic applications, such as the role of group 5 alkylidene complexes in alkene metathesis and ring-opening metathesis polymerization.
