'... this is an excellent volume, with up to the minute accounts from the major practitioners in the field. It should be in all serious chemistry libraries, and anyone working on metal carbene complexes should buy their own copy.' P. Chaloner, Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 1989 'This is an excellent treatise of an important topic; all libraries and workers in the field should have a copy.' Applied Organometallic Chemistry, 4, 1990
