Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"This is a nice up to date book that provides a very readable account of highlights in a topical and exciting area of developing chemistry. All the contributors and the editor ... are to be congratulated for making available such a well produced and interesting monograph. ... This monograph will be of value to all those who are working in the area, and it should be in libraries wishing to keep up to date in these chemical areas that have so much potential." (Martyn V. Twigg, Platinum Metals Reviews, Vol. 56 (2), 2012)
