Thus, we hope that this book will be useful to students, relatively early in their careers, who wish to explore this field.

This book is a part of four volume series, entitled "A Textbook of Inorganic Chemistry – Volume I, II, III, IV". CONTENTS: Chapter 1.

This series provides a continuing critical review of the literature concerned with mechanistic aspects of inorganic and organometallic reactions in solu tion, with coverage over the whole area being complete in each volume.

This volume covers both basic and advanced aspects of organometallic chemistry of all metals and catalysis.

This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students and instructors in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. It will also be a useful tutorial for organic chemists who use organometallic reagents for syntheses.

This book presents a systematic and comprehensive review of the information on chromatographic processes that involve the formation of coordination compounds, aiming not only to demonstrate the achievements that have been made in the theory ...
