Stang P.J., Diederich F. (eds) Modern Acetylene Chemistry

VCH Verlagsgesellschaft mbH, D-6945 1 Weinheim, Germany, 1995. - 531 p. - ISBN: 3-527-29084-2.This multi-author monograph documents and critically analyzes these recent developments in contemporary acetylene chemistry in 13 chapters written by leading scientists in the various areas. With emphasis on the above-mentioned modern developments, the monograph does not duplicate previous treatises on alkyne chemistry such as Houben- Weyl-Miiller Vol. V/2a (Alkine, Di und Polyine, Allene, Kumulene), the volumes in the Patai series on The Chemistry of the Carbon-Carbon Triple Bond, the pioneering monograph on The Chemistry of Acetylenes by H. G. Viehe, or the book by Brandsma on Preparative Acetylenic Chemistry with a great variety of useful synthetic procedures. Rather, it builds upon these predecessors and complements them by updating the reader on the broad new developments in today’s acetylene chemistry. To enhance the practical value of the monograph, most experimental chapters include synthetic protocols which have been chosen for broad utility and application.Modern Computational and Theoretical Aspects of Acetylene Chemistry.
