Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry II : 14-Volume Set
Editorial Reviews
Journal of the American Chemical Society
1996 "I think COMC-II merits a 'rave' review...It is just a superb work in every respect. This new COMC-II is an absolute must for all libraries and ever a reasonable purchase for an individual research group of medium size. Any researcher in the field of organometallic chemsitry without ready access to it will be seriously handicapped.

February 9, 1996 The chemistry of molecules with metal-carbon bonds has continued to expand rapidly since Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry (COMC-I) was published in 1982. Comprehensive Organometallic Chemistry II (COMC II) updates the literature up to 1994. This new collection retains the previous overall structure, but certain sections have been expanded to reflect the changes in directly the field has taken in the past ten years. Thus the latest collection of epic proportions, consisting of 14 volumes.
The editors-in-chief, Edward W. Abel, F. Gordon A. Stone and Geoffrey Wilkinson, deserve much credit for enlisting the support of 16 volume editors responsible for recruiting the 170 contributing authors writing a total of 124 chapters. The volume editors have done a marvellous job in persuading so many of the world's leading organometallic chemists to contribute chapters. The authors constitute an international group divided approximately as follows: Europe (43 per cent), North America (46 per cent), Australia (5 per cent), and Asia (5 per cent).
Everyone concerned deserves enormous credit for this magnificent enterprise. All science libraries should have this collection. In this era of on-line databases, there is still a lasting need for a work of this type.
