Preface
Mechanisms of Inorganic and Organometallic Reactions provides an ongoing
critical review of the primary literature concerned with mechanisms of
inorganic and organometallic reactions. The main focus is on reactions in
solution, although solid-state and gas-phase studies are included where they
provide relevant mechanistic insight.
Each volume covers an eighteen-month literature period, and this, the
eighth volume in the series, includes papers published during January 1990
through June 1991. Where appropriate, references to earlier reports and to
specific sections in previous volumes are given. Coverage spans the whole area
as comprehensively as possible in each volume, and while it is impossible to
be absolutely exhaustive, every effort is made to include all of the important
published work that is relevant to the elucidation of reaction mechanisms.
Numerical data are reported in the units used by the original authors,
and they are converted to common units only when comparisons are being
made. The successful format of earlier volumes is retained to facilitate tracing
progress over several years in a particular topic, and the series now permits
this to be done for a twelve-year period. The introduction three volumes ago
of computerized techniques to improve cross-referencing in the Index brought
positive reader comments, and their use is being continued.
The amount of work published continues to increase. As a result, the
effort involved in collecting and critically selecting references for inclusion, as
well as actually writing the chapters, is increasing. All the contributors are
sincerely thanked for expending this effort while keeping high standards of
scholarship. The vital support and the helpfulness of all those associated with
the publication process at Plenum are also very much appreciated.

Thanks are also due for the support and encouragement of readers who
send reprints or preprints of papers, or offer comments and advice. As always,
these are most welcome.
