Publisher's Synopsis
Each book in "The Chemistry of Functional Groups" series is designed to cover all aspects of one of the important functional groups in organic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the functional group treated and on the effects which it exerts on chemical and physical properties, primarily in the immediate vicinity of the group in question and secondarily on the behaviour of the whole molecule.;This volume, which is also available in two parts, deals with organic compounds containing carbon-silicon bonds, including derivatives with other heteroatoms, and reviews new developments of organosilicon chemistry in the last decade, such as multiple bonds to silicon.
