Organometallic Chemistry: Volume 30 - Specialist Periodical Reports

Publisher Marketing: Organometallic chemistry is an interdisciplinary science which continues to grow at a rapid pace. Although there is continued interest in synthetic and structural studies the last decade has seen a growing interest in the potential of organometallic chemistry to provide answers to problems in catalysis synthetic organic chemistry and also in the development of new materials. This Specialist Periodical Report aims to reflect these current interests reviewing progress in theoretical organometallic chemistry, main group chemistry, the lanthanides and all aspects of transition metal chemistry. Specialist Periodical Reports provide systematic and detailed review coverage of progress in the major areas of chemical research. Written by experts in their specialist fields the series creates a unique service for the active research chemist, supplying regular critical in-depth accounts of progress in particular areas of chemistry. For over 80 years the Royal Society of Chemistry and its predecessor, the Chemical Society, have been publishing reports charting developments in chemistry, which originally took the form of Annual Reports. However, by 1967 the whole spectrum of chemistry could no longer be contained within one volume and the series Specialist Periodical Reports was born. The Annual Reports themselves still existed but were divided into two, and subsequently three, volumes covering Inorganic, Organic and Physical Chemistry. For more general coverage of the highlights in chemistry they remain a 'must'. Since that time the SPR series has altered according to the fluctuating degree of activity in various fields of chemistry. Some titles have remained unchanged, while others have altered their emphasis along with their titles; some have been combined under a new name whereas others have had to be discontinued. The current list of Specialist Periodical Reports can be seen on the inside flap of this volume.

Contributor Bio:  Green, M M. Green teaches at the University of Nottingham. Contributor Bio:  Linton, David David Linton is a theatre practitioner and an associate lecturer at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His research interests include multidisciplinary participatory arts practice, popular musical theatre, Black performance and the formation and representation of national and cultural identities. Contributor Bio:  King, P J P J King was brought up in the country on a small farm, her father being a horse dealer, and she could ride before she could walk! Despite her rural upbringing, she decided to seek employment outside the equine industry and started her working life on the front line in an acute psychiatric hospital with a multi-disciplinary medical team. After some years, the innate draw and passion for horses lured her back and she is now a dressage trainer, judge and sports psychologist, living on her own stud farm in the South East of England. She is married with three children, and has a host of dogs and horses, together with the inevitable uniform of Hunter wellies and Barbours! Drawing on her own life experiences in the medical and equine industry, she decided to write about what she knew best, and to recreate some of the wonderful (or otherwise!) characters that she has met and weave them into a novel. Rough Ride is that story. The sequel to Rough Ride - and there is a rip roaring sequel - is already in its embryo form and should be published at the end of the year! Happy reading!
