Chirality and Optical Activity in Organometallic Compounds

This book presents introductory material concerning the classification of both types of chirality and organometallic molecules. It outlines the modern quantum-chemical treatment of the phenomenon of optical activity, special attention being paid to the organometal molecules studied by circular dichroism spectroscopy. It also describes the synthesis and reactivity of chiral and optically active organometallic compounds and discusses their applications in synthesizing complex organic molecules.Sokolov, V. I. is the author of 'Chirality and Optical Activity in Organometallic Compounds' with ISBN 9782881247743 and ISBN 2881247741.
