Download or read book Organometallic Ion Chemistry written by B.S. Freiser and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study covering the gas-phase chemistry of organometallic ions. Topics covered include: periodic trends in gas-phase thermochemistry of transition metal-ligand systems; ab initio calculations to determine electronic structure, geometric structure, and thermochemistry of metal-containing systems; electronic state effects on metal ion reactivity; organometallic ion photochemistry; and applications of gas-phase electron transfer equilibria in organometallic redox thermochemistry. Also included are state-of-the-art mass spectrometric instrumentation used in such studies. It also features a comprehensive list (containing over 1500 entries) of metal ion-ligand bond energies, obtained from theory and experiment.
