VII. Summary

Almost all branches of chemistry and material science now interface with organometallic chemistry--the study of compounds containing carbon-metal bonds. This widely acclaimed serial contains authoritative reviews that address all aspects of organometallic chemistry, a field that has expanded enormously since the publication of Volume 1 in 1964.

• Fully updated and expanded to reflect recent advances
• Illustrated with pertinent examples from recent literature
• Contributions from leading authorities and industry experts
