The recent growth in organometallic chemi try

How can scientist working in this

really important organometallics?

Preface
This is one of the first volumes to be published in the series of Chapman and Hall
Chemistry Sourcebooks which provides carefully tailored information to workers in
specialized areas of chemistry. The information contained in this book is derived from the
Dictionary of Organometallic Compounds, published in November 1984.
Organoiron compounds are amongst the most widely studied group of organometallics.
Since the discovery of ferrocene in 1951 there has been a huge growth in the number of
organoiron derivatives. Interest is now turning to the use of these compounds in organic
synthesis, since the binding of an iron atom to an organic ligand changes the way in which
reagents act on the ligand and thus gives rise to a new range of possible synthetic pathways.
The large variety of organoiron compounds and their reactions will ensure that this
particular compendium will reach a wide audience.
The databank on the properties of organometallic compounds, which is represented in
its current form by the Dictionary of Organometallic Compounds and its subset
publications such as this volume, will be kept continuously up-to-date. Supplements to the
main Dictionary will appear annually and revised editions of this Sourcebook will be
published from time to time as demands permits.
