The last two decades have seen a renaissance in interest in thechemistry of the main group elements. In particular research on themetals of group 13 (aluminium, gallium, indium and thallium) hasled to the synthesis and isolation of some very novel and unusualmolecules, with implications for organometallic synthesis, newmaterials development, and with biological, medical and,environmental relevance.
The Group 13 Metals Aluminium, Gallium, Indium andThallium aims to cover new facts, developments andapplications in the context of more general patterns of physicaland chemical behaviour. Particular attention is paid to the maingrowth areas, including the chemistry of lower formal oxidationstates, cluster chemistry, the investigation of solid oxides andhydroxides, advances in the formation of III-V and relatedcompounds, the biological significance of Group 13 metal complexes,and the growing importance of the metals and their compounds in themediation of organic reactions. Chapters cover:
* general features of the group 13 elements
* group 13 metals in the +3 oxidation state: simple inorganiccompounds
* formal oxidation state +3: organometallic chemistry
* formal oxidation state +2: metal-metal bonded vs. mononuclearderivatives
* group 13 metals in the +1 oxidation state
* mixed or intermediate valence group 13 metal compounds
* aluminium and gallium clusters: metalloid clusters and theirrelation to the bulk phases, to naked clusters, and to nanoscaledmaterials
* simple and mixed metal oxides and hydroxides: solids withextended structures of different dimensionalities andporosities
* coordination and solution chemistry of the metals: biological,medical and, environmental relevance
* III-V and related semiconductor materials
* group 13 metal-mediated organic reactions
The Group 13 Metals Aluminium, Gallium, Indium andThallium provides a detailed, wide-ranging, and up-to-datereview of the chemistry of this important group of metals. It willfind a place on the bookshelves of practitioners, researchers andstudents working in inorganic, organometallic, and materialschemistry.
