Organometallic Chemistry

Covers organometallic compounds across the periodic table, from lithium, magnesium and boron to transition metal alkyls, hydrides, carbonyls and phosphine complexes, with the 18-electron rule and Ziegler-Natta catalysts.

M. S. Balakrishna and Prasenjit Ghosh

The full lecture notes of a graduate organometallic course, with detailed mechanisms for hydrogenation, hydroformylation, polymerization and Pd-catalyzed coupling. Ideal if you want to understand how catalysts really work.

George G. Stanley

A master-level course on stereochemistry and bonding in main group compounds, followed by metal pi-complexes, metal carbonyls, nitrosyls and metal clusters.
