The Chemistry of Metal Phenolates

A series of advanced treatises founded by Professor Saul Patai and now under the general editorship of Professors Ilan Marek, Zvi Rappoport and Joel F. Liebman

PATAI′s Chemistry of Functional Groups publishes comprehensive reviews on all aspects of specific functional groups. Each volume contains outstanding surveys on theoretical and computational aspects, NMR, MS, other spectroscopic methods and analytical chemistry, structural aspects, thermochemistry, photochemistry, synthetic approaches and strategies, synthetic uses and applications in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, biological, biochemical and environmental aspects. To date, over 150 volumes have been published in the series.
