Pincer complexes are formed by the binding of a chemical structure to a metal atom with at least one carbon-metal bond. Usually the metal atom has three bonds to a chemical backbone, enclosing the atom like a pincer. The resulting structure protects the metal atom and gives it unique properties.The last decade has witnessed the continuous growth in the development of pincer complexes. These species have passed from being curiosity compounds to chemical chameleons able to perform a wide variety of applications. Their unique metal bound structures provide some of the most active catalysts yet known for organic transformations involving the activation of bonds. The Chemistry of Pincer Compounds...
Pincer Compounds: Chemistry and Applications offers valuable state-of-the-art coverage highlighting highly active areas of research—from mechanistic work to synthesis and characterization. The book focuses on small molecule activation chemistry (particularly H2 and hydrogenation), earth abundant metals (such as Fe), actinides, carbene-pincers, chiral catalysis, and alternative solvent usage. The book covers the current state of the field, featuring chapters from renowned contributors, covering four continents and ranging from still-active pioneers to new names emerging as creative strong contributors to this fascinating and promising area. Over a decade since the publication of Morales-Mor...
Dream Big. Become More.

David’s story provides guidance on how to overcome challenges in the face of great pressure and gives direction on how to develop purpose and embrace opportunities with courage and personal responsibility.
Meet artist, animator, and film maker Eliza Ivanova, and her powerful figures that blend traditional painting with evocative movement.
From synthesis to applications in catalysis, material science and biology this much-needed book is the first to comprehensively present everything you need to know about palladacycles. Renowned international authors guarantee high-quality content, making this a must-have for everyone working in the field.
Forget about all the hype you've heard about day trading. Seriously. Get that stuff out of your mind. Most of the authors trying to pump you up about day trading have a vested interest in steering you in the wrong direction and getting your hopes up. They get to sell a book or a series of books.

If you are a complete newbie to day trading and want the inside dope or straight talk about this form of securities trading, you are looking at the right book. Instead of spending an inordinate amount of time and book space on how much you can earn from day trading as well as the financial freedom you ca...
