This publication is the first to present the quantitative application of quantum chemistry to organometallic reactions. Great progress has been made in recent years in the calculation of transition states of organometallic conversions in both homo and heterogeneous catalysis. This volume, which contains seven contributions by leading scientists, deals with key reactions of homogeneous catalysis including oxidative addition, migratory insertions, 2+2 additions, the Wacker reaction, and epoxidation. The book provides experimental chemists with an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in this field, and will stimulate an adjustment of views previously based on semiempirical calculations. For researchers and advanced graduate students whose work involves organometallics and catalysis.

1. INTRODUCTION Although quite spectacular results have been obtained in the last few decades in the field of homogeneous transition metal catalyzed transformations of olefins and alkynes [1], reactions which could lead to heterocycles have been partly neglected. An obvious reason for this is that substrates containing heteroatoms such as N, 0 or S could coordinate the metal and suppress the catalytic activity. Nevertheless, some interesting early examples of transition-metal-catalyzed syntheses of heterocyclic compounds have been reported and these have been reviewed by C. W. Bird [2] . More recently the incorporation of CO , which enables esters and lactones 2 to be synthesized from olefinic starting materials, has begun to attract attention (see, for example, ref. [3]). The dominant role of palladium as the catalyst for the formation of O-containing heterocycles has been suggested to be associated with the relatively low strength of the Pd-O bond. Among the first examples of a nitrogen-containing heterocycle to be formed by homogeneous catalysis is the triazine shown in Equation 1 which is the product of the trimerization of benzonitrile in the presence of iron penta carbonyl or Raney nickel [4] .

Organo-Transition Metal Compounds and Related Aspects of Homogeneous Catalysis covers compounds that possess carbon atoms bonded to metal and to other carbon atoms. The order in which the substances appear in the book is based on the number of carbon atoms it have. The first section is about the alkyl, aryl, ethynyl, acyl, and carbene complexes. The second section deals with olefin and chelating diolefin complexes and complexes formed from acetylene. The following section covers the p-allylic complexes. The structures, stability, and bonding of alkyl and aryl complexes are fully covered. The magnetic moments and electronic spectra are discussed in detail.The fourth section discusses the conjugated diolefinic complexes that contain butadiene or cyclobutadiene. The rest of the book focuses on cyclopentadienyls, arene complexes, tropylium complexes, and complexes formed from cyclo-octatetraene or azulene. The book will be a useful tool for chemists, chemical engineers, and students and researchers in the field of chemistry.

The objective of this workshop on homogeneous catalysis was to identi fy opportunities for the solution of energy problems and industrial produc tion problems by homogeneous catalysis. The first day of the workshop was devoted to plenary lectures on frontier areas in homogeneous catalysis which set the tone for the workshop. On succeeding days of the workshop, the participants were divided into five working groups for discussion of various aspects of homogeneous catalysis. Each of the five workshops engaged in extensive discussions and then formulated a rough draft of their report and recommendations. The reports of the working groups were presented at a plenary session and suggestions for changes and revisions were made. These minor revisions were incorporated into the working group report by the Co-Chairmen of the working groups. This workshop on homogeneous catalysis was sponsored by the Na tional Science Foundation (United States) and by the National Research Council (Italy). Additional financial support was provided by Montedison, E.N.I., and S.I.R. We wish to thank Mr. William M. Tsutsui for typing and assisting in the editorial work. The Robert A. Welch Foundation Grant A-420 partial ly supported the time spent by M. Tsutsui for the organization of the work shop and the editorial work of the proceedings. Organizing Committee, December, 1976 C.
