Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is an essential introduction to this increasingly important field for students and researchers in inorganic chemistry. Emphasising applications and real-world examples, the book begins with an overview of chirality, with a discussion of absolute configurations and system descriptors, physical properties of enantiomers, and principles of resolution and preparation of enantiomers. The subsequent chapters deal with the the specifics of chirality as it applies to transition metals.
Some reviews of Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry
"...useful to students taking an advanced undergraduate course and particularly to postgraduates and academics undertaking research in the areas of chiral inorganic supramolecular complexes and materials." Chemistry World, August 2009
“…the book offers an extremely exciting new addition to the study of inorganic chemistry, and should be compulsory reading for students entering their final year of undergraduate studies or starting a Ph.D. in structural inorganic chemistry.”
Applied Organometallic Chemistry Volume23, Issue5, May 2009
“…In conclusion the book gives a wonderful overview of the topic. It is helpful for anyone entering the field through systematic and detailed introduction of basic information. It was time to publish a new and topical text book covering the important aspect of coordination chemistry. It builds bridges between Inorganic, organic and supramolecular chemistry. I can recommend the book to everybody who is interested in the chemistry of chiral coordination compounds .”

About the Series
Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is the latest addition to the Wiley Inorganic Chemistry Advanced Textbook series. This series reflects the pivotal role of modern inorganic and physical chemistry in a whole range of emerging areas such as materials chemistry, green chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as providing a solid grounding in established areas such as solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, main group chemistry and physical inorganic chemistry.
Hani, Haniel Amouri, was born in Anapolis Goias (Brazil) and obtained his Ph.D. degree (1987) in chemistry from Universite Louis Pasteur Strasbourg (France), with Professor John A. Osborn, on the subject of homogeneous catalysis (hydrogenation). In 1988 he spent one year at Gif-sur-Yvette (France) as a post-doctoral fellow with Dr Hugh Felkin where he studied C-H activation of saturated hydrocarbon with transition metal polyhydrides. In 1992-1993 he spent one year at UC-Berkeley (USA) with Professor K. Peter C. Vollhardt and was working on the synthesis of oligocyclopentadienyl metal complex and their behaviour as electron transfer reagents. He is a Research Director in CNRS and is currently the director of the 'ARC' group (Auto-assemblage, Reconnaissance et Chiralite) of the IPCM at Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris-6. His main research interests are chirality, organometallic and coordination chemistry, and he has had over 90 research papers and reviews published in international scientific journals.
Michel Gruselle was born in Decazeville (France) and obtained his Ph.D. degree (doctorat d'Etat) in the CNRS laboratory of Thiais, a suburb of Paris, in 1975 with Dr Daniel Lefort where he worked on stereochemical problems in radical chemistry. In 1974 he joined Bianca Tchoubar's group and started working on nitrogen activation by organometallic complexes, and he spent some time collaborating with Prof. A.E. Shilov in Moscow. he is a Research Director in CNRS at Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris-6 and was the director of the ARC group (Auto-assemblage, Reconnaissance et Chiralite) at the IPCM from 1996-2000. His main research interests a4re enantioselective synthesis in coordination chemistry and in material science and he has had over 110 research papers and reviews published in international scientific journals.

我必须指出,这本书在处理复杂光谱数据的解析方面,展示了超乎寻常的严谨性。很多同类书籍在光谱解析部分往往只是简单地给出结论,但这本“Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry”却花了大篇幅,用清晰的图表和详细的步骤,演示了如何利用NMR、ESR乃至高分辨质谱来确认那些结构上极为微妙的异构体。对于我这种习惯于在实验台上摸索的合成化学家来说,这种“反向工程”的教学方法极其有效,它教会了我如何“读懂”我的实验数据,而不是盲目地相信一个预设的结构。书中对过渡金属低价态物种稳定性的探讨,也异常深入,提供了大量的实验参数和条件优化建议,这些经验之谈,往往是那些纯理论书籍里找不到的“黄金信息”。这本书的价值,就在于它不仅告诉你“是什么”,更告诉你“为什么是这样”以及“如何证明它是这样”。
评分如果让我用一个词来形容这本书的整体感觉,那一定是“前瞻性”。它不仅仅是对现有知识的总结,更是对未来化学研究方向的深刻预判。作者在讨论“后贵金属时代”的催化剂设计时,对廉价金属如铁、铜在复杂有机反应中的应用潜力进行了非常大胆而有力的论证。这种对新领域的探索精神,使得这本书的阅读价值超越了时效性,它像是一份为未来十年化学研究描绘的蓝图。我特别关注到它对机器辅助设计(AI/ML)在优化配体结构中的应用潜力进行了讨论,这表明作者紧跟科技前沿,并将跨学科的视角融入到传统的配位化学中。总而言之,这本书的视角宏大、论证扎实,它激发了我重新审视手中现有项目的热情,并激励我去探索那些目前看来似乎“不可能”的反应路径。这是一部需要被反复阅读和思考的重量级著作。
评分这本书的编排风格非常独特,它似乎在努力打破传统化学教科书的刻板印象。阅读体验非常流畅,它不像某些专业书籍那样干涩难懂,反而充满了叙事感。举个例子,在介绍贵金属催化剂的活化步骤时,作者竟然引用了历史上的某个著名化学家的“灵感瞬间”,虽然细节可能有所艺术化,但极大地增强了阅读的趣味性和代入感。更重要的是,它对高阶概念的引入是循序渐进的,每增加一个新维度,都会用一个简短的“概念回顾”来确保读者跟得上节奏。我个人认为,这本书在“教育性”和“参考性”之间找到了一个完美的平衡点。它既可以作为研究生课程的指定教材,又可以作为实验室研究人员手边的“疑难解答”工具书。特别是关于环境友好型催化剂的章节,它不仅关注效率,更关注原子经济性,体现了当代化学研究的责任与担当。
评分这本书绝对是金属有机化学领域的一股清流,它不仅仅是罗列公式和反应,更像是一次对元素周期表上那些“闪耀”元素的深入访谈。我花了整整一个周末沉浸其中,那种感觉就像是站在一个巨大的、结构精密的分子工厂门口,看着催化剂如何精确地构建复杂的有机骨架。作者对配位场理论的阐述非常到位,尤其是在解释为什么某些过渡金属会表现出特定的几何构型时,那种清晰度和逻辑性让人拍案叫绝。我特别喜欢它对磁性材料的讨论部分,不仅仅停留在理论层面,还深入探讨了如何通过调控配体环境来“微调”材料的电子特性,这对于从事材料科学研究的人来说,简直就是一本“操作手册”。它成功地将那些晦涩的量子化学概念,转化成了可以实际应用的化学语言,这才是真正高水平的专业书籍应有的面貌。书中的插图质量也值得称赞,那些三维结构图不仅准确,而且视觉效果极佳,极大地帮助了我对空间几何概念的理解,特别是那些涉及手性中心的构建过程,复杂而不失美感。
评分说实话,这本书的深度和广度着实让我感到震撼,它对现代催化理论的梳理,简直是一次教科书级别的梳理。我原以为自己对不对称催化已经有了一个相当扎实的了解,但在阅读了其中关于“非经典”轨道相互作用如何影响立体选择性的章节后,才发现自己之前的认知还停留在表面。作者对反应机理的剖析极为细致,他没有回避那些充满争议和尚未完全定论的领域,反而鼓励读者进行批判性思考,这一点非常难得。我尤其欣赏的是,书中穿插了大量的案例研究,这些案例不仅仅是简单的“A加B等于C”的方程式,而是包含了从前体合成到最终产物分离的全过程分析,提供了宝贵的工程视角。对于那些希望从基础知识迈向前沿研究的化学家来说,这本书是不可或缺的桥梁。它要求读者投入足够的时间和精力去消化,但所获得的回报绝对是巨大的知识财富,绝对不是那种浅尝辄止的入门读物可以比拟的。
