This vital resource book captures the essential scope of organic chemistry of all main group elements and covers all main group elements dealing with syntheses and reactions of their organic compounds. While organic compounds of second row elements centered at carbon are the major components of animals and plants, those of the third row and below are also important and have unique roles which this book discusses. Since main group chemistry has been traditionally classified as a part of inorganic chemistry, this book establishes the scope of organic chemistry of main group elements.
