In first two volumes of Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry II we have endeavored to lay down the fundamentals of coordination chemistry as it is understood in the early part of the twenty-first century. We hope to have provided all the necessary fundamental background information needed to prosecute coordination chemistry in the physical and theoretical laboratory and to appreciate fully the information provided in the remaining volumes of this treatise. These volumes contain 112 contributions from some 130 outstanding,inter nationally known, contributors. They are subdivided into nine major sections whose content is described briefly below. The contributors were asked to emphasize developments in the field achieved since 1980 and since the publication of CCC (1987).
