Lee J Higham & David W Allen 
Organophosphorus Chemistry 
Volume 52

This annual review of the literature provides a comprehensive and critical survey of a vast field of study involving organophosphorus compounds, ranging from phosphines and their chalcogenide derivatives, phosphonium salts and P-ylides, to tervalent and quinquevalent phosphorus acid derivatives and penta- and hexa-coordinated phosphorus compounds. Recent developments in applications as reagents in green synthetic procedures are also given. With an emphasis on interdisciplinary content, this book will appeal to the worldwide organic chemistry and engineering research communities.

Sobre el autor

Professor David Allen is Emeritus professor of chemistry at the Sheffield Hallam University, UK. His main research interests are in phosphonium salts and related compounds. Current interests include the preparation of phosphonioalkyl derivatives of biologically active molecules, the phosphonioalkyl group facilitating the passage of the biologically active agent through cell membranes, and studies of the formation of biologically active surface-functionalised gold nanoparticles.
