Carbonyl chemistry, overview

I An overview chapter, A Preview of Carbonyl Chemistry, follows Chapter 18 and highlights the author s belief that studying organic chemistry requires both summarizing and Looking ahead. 

An overview titled A Preview of Carbonyl Chemistry, following Chapter 13, highlights the idea that studying organic chemistry works by both summarizing past ideas and looking ahead to new ones. 

The chemistry of highly electron deficient nitrogen heterocycles containing carbonyl groups is covered by Ana M. Costero of the University of Valencia, Spain, in the first overview of this interesting chemistry. 

The abundant chemistry of Ni(CO>4 under reductive reaction conditions leading to the formation of dinuclear nickel complexes or even to nickel clusters suggests the involvement of higher aggregates, however. An overview of the reactivity of nickel complexes, and of Ni(CO)4 in particular, is given in a series of excellent reviews by Jolly [13]. There seems to be evidence of an autocatalytic cycle for the formation of the active catalyst [14]. Parallel to this, the water-gas shift reaction (eq. (5)) occurs, resulting in the formation of carbon dioxide and hydrogen, which is known to form metal hydrides in the presence of metal carbonyls [15].
