Silver Organometallics

The chapter covers the developments in the organometallic chemistry of silver(I) and silver(III) of the last 15 years. It is organized in sections dedicated to specific classes of ligands forming silver-carbon bonds, in particular alkyl and aryl ligands, N-heterocyclic carbene ligands and alkynyl ligands for silver(I), porphyrinoid ligands for silver(III). In each section specific examples will be commented with particular emphasis on the structures of the complexes and on their applications
