Metal enolates analytical aspects

The two parts of the present volume contain seventeen chapters written by experts from eleven countries. They cover computational chemistry, structural chemistry by spectroscopic methods, luminescence, thermochemistry, synthesis, various aspect of chemical behavior such as application as synthons, acid-base properties, coordination chemistry, redox behavior, electrochemistry, analytical chemistry and biological aspects of the metal enolates. Chapters are devoted to special families of compounds, such as the metal ynolates and 1,2-thiolenes and, besides their use as synthons in organic and inorganic chemistry, chapters appear on applications of metal enolates in structural analysis as NMR shift reagents, catalysis, polymerization, electronic devices and deposition of metals and their oxides.
