“This is a well written book that encapsulates much of what has been published recently, so it is a great update to the older editions. The key concepts come across very clearly.” “I enjoyed reading this book. There is a huge amount of information in it and I believe it will be very useful.” From reviews of the previous edition: “It is difficult to find another text that has the superb qualities of the Hegedus volume–in particular, its appeal to practitioners of the art of organic synthesis in industry and academe, and its breadth, which makes it particularly suitable as a textbook for an advanced undergraduate course in organometallic chemistry or an introductory level graduate course in synthetic applications of transition metal chemistry.” “An excellent resource for an advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate course in organometallic chemistry.” |
