About this title

Synopsis:

Phosphorus: The Carbon Copy examines the extraordinary similarity between low coordinate phosphorus compounds and unsaturated carbon compounds.
Written by three of the leading researchers in the field of modern phosphorus chemistry, Phosphorus: The Carbon Copy focuses on the interface between phosphorus and the transition metal elements and deals with the most recent aspects of unsaturated organophosphorus compounds and their coordination chemistry.
Aimed at graduate students as well as academic and industrial researchers, this concise volume publicisies the extraordinary potential of these new phosphorus compounds for applications in catalysis, molecular materials and biochemistry.

From the Publisher:

Ninety-five percent of modern organic chemistry concerns carbon. In the past, silicon has been used as a carbon substitute but this book, by two of the leading researchers in the field of modern coordination chemistry, states that phosphorus is more similar to carbon and can be readily used as a substitute. This concise work is divided into two sections: the first focusing on multiple bonded phosphorus compounds, as well as phosphorus-metal complexes; the second on phosphoranides and their metal complexes, five and six-coordinated cationic, neutral and anionic compounds.
