Foreword
Volume 11 of the Specialist Periodical Reports ‘Organometallic Chemistry’,
surveys the literature for the calendar year 1981, with the exception of the
chapter ‘Organometallic Compounds in Biological Chemistry’, which covers
both 1980 and 1981.
This volume sees no required ,change of format, but authors remain under
pressure to condense the continued growth of the literature of organometallic
chemistry.
