Foreword
This second volume of the Specialist Periodical Reports on Organometallic
Chemistry covers the literature for the calendar year 1972, and retains essen-
tially the same format as Volume I. We are, however, keenly aware that
the constantly changing patterns in organometallic research will necessitate a
variation of emphasis in subsequent volumes.
