Description

The chemistry of platinum group metals is a rapidly expanding commercially important field.

It is dominated by the catalytic properties of the metals.

They are useful in petrochemical and general chemical plants and are becoming increasingly important as autocatalysts for pollution control.

The book covers recent developments in the chemistry of the six platinum group metals, namely, platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium and osmium.

The material falls into three broad areas.

Firstly, the occurrence, extraction and use of the metals, especially in catalysis, electrochemistry, energy and electronics.

Secondly, organometallic and homogeneous catalytic chemistry and last but not least coordination chemistry including biochemistry and cancer therapy.



The work is aimed at scientists in universities and in industry using any of the six platinum group metals in research.

It will be useful for those studying the compounds of the metals themselves, and those considering to use either the metals or their complexes and catalysts in their experimental work.
