The Literature of Organo-Transition Metal Chemistry 1972

Abstract

Publisher Summary Publication of all the lectures, both plenary and section, presented at the Fifth International Conference on Organometallic Chemistry at Moscow, also occurred during the year, in volume 30 of Pure and Applied Chemistry. Although no new textbooks dealing specifically with organometallic chemistry have been published, several new volumes on inorganic chemistry deserve mention. The Journal of the Chemical Society now appears in six parts, as a result of the amalgamation of The Chemical Society and the Faraday Society (together with the Royal Institute of Chemistry). The importance of organometallic catalysts is such that an increasing number of books have been written describing the various processes that use these materials. The continual increase in the size of Chemical Abstracts is matched by the impressive Collective Indexes, the eighth of which has been computer produced for the first time. The first volume of a new series, Organometallic Chemistry, surveys the literature of 1971. Main Group elements are covered Group by Group (with the exception of Group V), whereas organotransition metal chemistry is covered by treating the different types of complex formed.
