Cyanoximes

Cyanoximes: Chemistry, Coordination and Organometallic Compounds and their Applications

Contains vast information about the use of cyanoximes as small molecules ligands in coordination, bioinorganic, and in organometallic chemistry. In addition, it presents the structural chemistry of these compounds and shows their most interesting spectroscopic properties, along with the practical aspects of their chemistry. Methods of syntheses, stereochemistry of cyanoximes ligands, their structures and properties, as well as the most interesting coordination compounds are described, as well as a broad spectrum of practical applications of both cyanoximes and their metal complexes.

These simple, low molecular weight organic molecules represent a series of new excellent ampolydentate ligands for coordination chemistry. Currently, 48 cyanoximes are known, and users will find more than two hundreds cyanoxime complexes synthesized and studied using a variety of different spectroscopic methods and X-ray analysis.
