"With great coverage of all aspects
of the field, Hartwig's Organotransition Metal Chemistry:
From Bonding to Catalysis is the new must-have text that very
soon will be recognized far and wide as a true chemistry classic."
--Harry B. Gray, California Institute of Technology
"This will be a very useful
reference work."
--Martin Semmelhack, Princeton
University
"This long-awaited new edition
of a classic text does a fine job of covering the most important
developments in organotransition metal chemistry over the last 20 years,
while retaining the earlier versions' effective presentations of basic
concepts and older work. It should well serve both teachers
choosing a textbook for an advanced course and active researchers
looking for a good starting reference source."
--Jay A. Labinger, California Institute of Technology
Based on the
best-selling classic text by James P. Collman, Louis S. Hegedus, Jack R. Norton,
and Richard Finke, Principles and Applications of Organotransition Metal
Chemistry, Hartwig's new text provides a comprehensive new update of this
vital field.
About
the Author
John F. Hartwig is the Kenneth L. Rinehart Professor of Chemistry at the
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Professor Hartwig received his
A. B. degree from Princeton and his Ph.D. from the University of California,
Berkeley. Subsequently, he was an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow at
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, joined the Yale University faculty in
1992, and joined the University of Illinois chemistry faculty in July 2006.
Professor Hartwig’s research focuses on the discovery and mechanistic
understanding of organic reactions catalyzed by organometallic complexes. He was
one of the originators of palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions to form
carbon-heteroatom bonds, as well as palladium-catalyzed coupling of enolates and
catalytic functionalization of the terminal C-H bonds in alkanes. He was
recently the recipient of the 2008 Mukaiyama Award from the Society of Synthetic
Organic Chemistry, Japan, the 2008 International Catalysis Award from the
International Association of Catalysis Societies, the 2008 Paul N. Rylander
Award of the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society, the 2007 Tetrahedron Young
Investigator Award in Organic Synthesis, the 2007 Raymond and Beverly Sackler
Prize in the Physical Sciences, and the 2006 ACS Award in Organometallic
Chemistry.
