The series Topics in Organometallic Chemistry presents critical overviews of research results
in organometallic chemistry. As our understanding of organometallic structure properties and
mechanisms increases new ways are opened for the design of organometallic compounds and
reactions tailored to the needs of such diverse areas as organic synthesis medical research
biology and materials science. Thus the scope of coverage includes a broad range of topics in
pure and applied organometallic chemistry where new breakthroughs are being achieved that are
of significance to a larger scientific audience. The individual volumes of Topics in
Organometallic Chemistry are thematic. Review articles are generally invited by the volume
editors.
