Abstract

Two reviews by F. Basolo make interesting reading. Both are retrospective, and center mainly on work carried out by the author and his co-workers. One deals with conventional ligand substitutions.(1) the other with substitution reactions of carbonyl and nitrosyl complexes,(2) and both contain material on four- and five-coordinate compounds. A review by R. Romeo on dissociative reaction pathways in platinum(II) chemistry takes the form of a useful compilation of the various reaction types which might lead to three-coordinate 14-electron species. These include β-eliminations and various insertion reactions as well as ligand replacements and isomerizations.(3)
