[email protected] Library of Congress Catalog Number: 39-23015 ISBN 0-471-24921-1 Printed in the United States of America 10987654321 PREFACE The importance of continuing advances in ligand design for the role of coordination chemistry in research and practical applications can hardly be overstated. Thus a major focus of this volume of Inorganic Syntheses is on ligand synthesis. To assure that the associated organic synthesis does not overwhelm our inorganic tradition, in almost all cases examples of the synthesis of transition metal complexes using these ligands are also included. As indicated above, the term “continuing advances” signifies that future volumes could be similarly dedicated. Currently developing hot areas, such as the ligand-transition metal complex templating of the peptide bundle assembly, or ligands designed for stereoselective oxidation reactions, are not discussed herein. However, the mindful reader will undoubtedly find inspiration within this volume, from those ligands designed for other research purposes. R
