This volume covers the advances in the organometallic chemistry of nickel, palladium and platinum since publication of COMC in 1982. Major applications of the organometallic compounds of the nickel group are in catalytic and stoichiometric organic synthesis and in materials synthesis. This volume covers the fundamental organometallic chemistry which underpins these applications. The level of sophistication in many areas has increased substantially since COMC, for example in the development of chiral organometallics for use in synthesis, in the synthesis and characterization of larger cluster...

Durante casi 30 años, la Física para la Ciencia y la Tecnología de Paul A. Tipler ha sido una referencia obligada de los cursos de física universitarios por su impecable claridad y precisión. En esta edición, Tipler y su nuevo coautor Gene Mosca, desarrollan nuevas formas de exponer la física con la intención de no abrumar a los estudiantes sin simplificar en exceso el contenido.
