Contains reviews which combine chemistry and mechanistic insight, and yields an understanding of how the chemistry drives the properties. This book presents an array of complex sequences which provide routes to a variety of heterocyclic systems. It deals with the chemistry of polypyridine ligands in organomanganese and organorhenium complexes.

It contains up-to-date results in the subject which continues to gain importance and expand. It makes available to graduate students and research workers in academic and industrial laboratories the latest reviews on wide variety of heterocyclic topics. The series forms a very substantial database covering wide areas of heterocyclic chemistry.
