Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds: A Series of Monographs
1 primary work
Book 6
Complexes of pyridine and its derivatives are a cornerstone to diverse chemical reactions. The understanding and appreciation of the pyridine N-electrons have enormous long-range ramifications in the future design of industrial catalysts and drugs. This book is a review of the coordination compounds of pyridine, pyridine N-oxide, and their ring-substituted derivatives with known metals capable of forming such complexes. The topics discussed are: a brief theoretical overview, preparative methods, structural aspects including x-ray diffraction data, physical methods of analysis, as well as chemical and physicochemical properties, and biological acitivity. Applications of these complexes are also noted, such as: catalysts in organic and polymer synthesis, analytical chemistry of metals, separation and isolation of metals, bright deposition of metals, and miscellaneous academic and industrial applications. All complexes are compiled in tables according to the metal providing direct access to the key references. The analytical applications of the ligands are also tabulated.
