Reihe: Inorganic Chemistry: A Textbook Series

Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is anessential introduction to this increasingly important field forstudents and researchers in inorganic chemistry. Emphasisingapplications and real-world examples, the book begins with anoverview of chirality, with a discussion of absolute configurationsand system descriptors, physical properties of enantiomers, andprinciples of resolution and preparation of enantiomers. Thesubsequent chapters deal with the the specifics of chirality as itapplies to transition metals.
Some reviews of Chirality in Transition MetalChemistry
"...useful to students taking an advanced undergraduate courseand particularly to postgraduates and academics undertakingresearch in the areas of chiral inorganic supramolecular complexesand materials." Chemistry World, August 2009
"...the book offers an extremely exciting newaddition to the study of inorganic chemistry, and should becompulsory reading for students entering their final year ofundergraduate studies or starting a Ph.D. in structural inorganicchemistry."
Applied Organometallic Chemistry Volume 23, Issue 5,May 2009
"...In conclusion the book gives a wonderful overviewof the topic. It is helpful for anyone entering the field throughsystematic and detailed introduction of basic information. It wastime to publish a new and topical text book covering the importantaspect of coordination chemistry. It builds bridges betweenInorganic, organic and supramolecular chemistry. I can recommendthe book to everybody who is interested in the chemistry of chiralcoordination compounds ."

About the Series
Chirality in Transition Metal Chemistry is thelatest addition to the Wiley Inorganic Chemistry AdvancedTextbook series. This series reflects the pivotal role ofmodern inorganic and physical chemistry in a whole range ofemerging areas such as materials chemistry, green chemistry andbioinorganic chemistry, as well as providing a solid grounding inestablished areas such as solid state chemistry, coordinationchemistry, main group chemistry and physical inorganicchemistry.

Hani, Haniel Amouri, was born in Anapolis Goias (Brazil) andobtained his Ph.D. degree (1987) in chemistry from Universite LouisPasteur Strasbourg (France), with Professor John A. Osborn, on thesubject of homogeneous catalysis (hydrogenation). In 1988 he spentone year at Gif-sur-Yvette (France) as a post-doctoral fellow withDr Hugh Felkin where he studied C-H activation of saturatedhydrocarbon with transition metal polyhydrides. In 1992-1993 hespent one year at UC-Berkeley (USA) with Professor K. Peter C.Vollhardt and was working on the synthesis of oligocyclopentadienylmetal complex and their behaviour as electron transfer reagents. Heis a Research Director in CNRS and is currently the director of the'ARC' group (Auto-assemblage, Reconnaissance et Chiralite) of theIPCM at Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris-6. His main researchinterests are chirality, organometallic and coordination chemistry,and he has had over 90 research papers and reviews published ininternational scientific journals.
Michel Gruselle was born in Decazeville (France) andobtained his Ph.D. degree (doctorat d'Etat) in the CNRS laboratoryof Thiais, a suburb of Paris, in 1975 with Dr Daniel Lefort wherehe worked on stereochemical problems in radical chemistry. In 1974he joined Bianca Tchoubar's group and started working on nitrogenactivation by organometallic complexes, and he spent some timecollaborating with Prof. A.E. Shilov in Moscow. he is a ResearchDirector in CNRS at Universite Pierre et Marie Curie Paris-6 andwas the director of the ARC group (Auto-assemblage, Reconnaissanceet Chiralite) at the IPCM from 1996-2000. His main researchinterests a4re enantioselective synthesis in coordination chemistryand in material science and he has had over 110 research papers andreviews published in international scientific journals.
