This volume covers the advances in the organometallic chemistry of nickel, palladium and platinum since publication of COMC in 1982. Major applications of the organometallic compounds of the nickel group are in catalytic and stoichiometric organic synthesis and in materials synthesis. This volume covers the fundamental organometallic chemistry which underpins these applications. The level of sophistication in many areas has increased substantially since COMC, for example in the development of chiral organometallics for use in synthesis, in the synthesis and characterization of larger cluster...

Behind the appearance of an innovative vaccine there is a history of determination and struggle, of breaking established models, and of overcoming the mistrust that generates a new theory. In this book we are going to learn about those stories, the stories of great scientists who fought to prove new theories and are now behind vaccines that save or will save millions of lives. We will experience with them the moment when they discovered that they had defeated a virus. We will travel inside the infectious agents to learn about their ability to gain ground in humans, the biological tools they...
