MECHANISMS OF INORGANIC AND ORGANOMETALLIC SYSTEMS BY ROBERT B. JORDAN

2022-12-30T11:24:29+05:30December 16th, 2022|

This book evolved from the lecture notes of the author for a one semester course given to senior undergraduates and graduate students over the past 20 years. This third edition presents an updating of the material to cover the literature through to the end of 2005, with occasional excursions to early 2006. As a result, [...]
