Description
Following the expansion of the chemistry covered in Volume 1 of
COMC, this volume provides the user with an update on
COMC
and the literature surveyed is from 1982-1993. Volume 1 features the chemistry of Groups 1, 2 and 3 of the periodic table, and the chapters
are arranged sequentially following a pattern similar to that in Volume 1 of
COMC. One significant difference between the organisation
in
COMC and
COMC II, is that compounds formed between the Group 3 elements and transition metals (including metallaboranes)
are now incorporated into Volume 1 (previously they were in Volume 6).
