Pincer-Metal Complexes

Pincer-Metal Complexes: Applications in Catalytic Dehydrogenation Chemistry provides an overview of pincer-metal catalytic systems transforming hydrocarbons and their derivatives from an synthetic and mechanistic point of view. The success stories of pincer-metal systems are discussed, as well as current and future challenges. In recent years there has been a surge in the research on hydrocarbon dehydrogenation catalytic systems that are compatible with polar substituents. This helps facilitate formulation of tandem processes that are not limited to hydrocarbon transformation but also to hydrocarbon functionalization in a single pot. This book provides thorough coverage of the operating mechanisms and dehydrogenation catalyst compatibility in both functionalized and unfunctionalized hydrocarbon systems. It is an ideal reference for researchers practicing synthetic organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organometallic chemistry and catalysis in academia and industry. Covers applications of pincer-metal complexes in organic transformationsIncludes pincer-group 8 and 9 metal complexes for alkane dehydrogenationsFeatures a discussion of pincer-metal complexes for dehydrogenation of functionalized hydrocarbons, and electro-catalytic transformations
