Organometallics and Catalysis consists of three parts. Part I looks at the organometallic compounds of the main group elements. Part 2 focuses on the organometallic compounds of the transition metals. Part 3 examines homogeneous catalysis with organometallic transition metal complexes. There are also four appendices: the first one covers commonly used solvents and their properties; the second one, number and symmetry of infrared-active vibrations of metal-carbonyl complexes; and the other two appendices present answers to exercises and further readings.
