Complementing the six volumes already published in Patai'sChemistry of the Functional Groups series this title covers topicsnot previously updated in the set. Written by key researchers in the field it includes more practicalchapters and industrial examples than before as well as additionalmaterial.
There is a strong emphasis on "Poly" derivatives of variousclasses of silicon compounds as well as a chapter on silicon inmodern high-technology. These supplement the "practical" parts ofearlier volumes and enhance past material.
* Continues with the high standard expected of the series * Complement to the 3 volume set of the chemistry of organicsilicon compounds published in 1998 * Updates content from previous volumes and includes chapters ontheory and silicon based radicals that are of theoretical andpractical importance * An invaluable reference source to organic chemists working inacademia and industry * Includes many more industrial examples than previous titles inthe series This volume complements the main volumes, with little overlap, andensures the functional group series continues its superiority inthe silicon field.
This volume is now available in electronic format from BooksOnline.
