Non-Metal Rings, Cages and ClustersAn accessible introduction to non-metal rings, cages, and clusters, based on simple established structural principles, and including synthetic routes to molecules. Topics covered include synthetic strategies, metallaboranes, transition metal clusters, cyclic sulphur imides, silicon-containing systems, boron-nitrogen compounds, polyatomic cations, and much more. |
