Foreword
This Volume of the Specialist Periodical Reports 'Organometallic
Chemistry' surveys the literature of the subject for the calendar
year 1989. The subject area continues to be very active, and our
Reporters have the very difficult brief of selectively reviewing
the year's advances in about 500 pages. The concentrated
presentation of the material does not make for an easy read, but
like its predecessors, we believe the Volume provides researchers
with a reliable compendium of progress for the year.
