Volume 3 describes the Coordination Chemistry of the s-, p-, and f-block metals.
Chapter 1 is conceed with the 1s and 2s metals and describes trends in the development of their chemistry since the mid-1980s, such as the increased use of sterically bulky ligands, recognition of importance of non-ionic interactions, reappraisal of the ‘‘spectator’’ role of s-block ions, and the application of computational methods. Biological roles of these elements are discussed in Volume 8.
Chapter 2 is conceed with the chemistry of scandium, yttrium, and the lanthanides and is discussed according to the nature of the ligand in which the donor is from Groups 14–
17. Divalent and tetravalent lanthanide chemistry is also described.
Chapter 3 describes the chemistry of the actinides, including the historical development. The chemistry described is subdivided according to whether the actinide is early (thorium to plutonium) or late (transplutonium elements). Within this subdivision, the chemistry is further classified according to the oxidation state of the metal (ranging from ?3 to ?7), and the type of donor (ranging from elements of Groups 15–17). The chapter also contains information pertaining to element separation and aspects of nuclear technology (which is not discussed in Volume 9 and therefore represents a departure from the format of Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry).
Chapter 4 describes the chemistry of aluminum and gallium. In addition to aluminum(III) and gallium(III) coordination complexes, this chapter also focuses on complexes with aluminum– aluminum and gallium–gallium bonds, and also describes cyclogallenes and metalloaromaticity.
Chapter 5 describes the chemistry of indium and thallium, including subvalent compounds of indium(II), thallium(II), and thallium(I). Applications of indium and thallium complexes are also described.
Chapter 6 describes the chemistry of arsenic, antimony, and bismuth, including a discussion of the role that these elements play in the environment and biology and medicine. Applications of these complexes are also discussed.
Chapter 7 describes the chemistry of germanium, tin, and lead according to MIV and MII oxidation states. Within this classification, the chemistry is further subdivided according to ligand type, which ranges from elements of Groups 13–17.
