"This book continues the high standard of <i>The Chemistry of Functional Groups</i> series and is an essential resource for professional organic and inorganic chemists and their research groups who have an interest in organometallic chemistry. It could also prove useful in postgraduate teaching for designing a modern course on the subject. With the recent report of the first crystallographically characterized Mg - Mg bonded compound, this area is likely to increase in popularity and research activity; thus, the publication of this book is timely. A copy should be made available in every library that houses a section on advanced chemistry at the postgraduate level and above."
