This comprehensive reference provides a critical review and discussion of preparations, reactions, bonding, and physical properties for all but two of the d-block transition metals in groups 5-10, including catalytic and chemotherapeutic applications. Metal-metal bonds of orders 0.5 to 4 are discussed in than 4000 compounds, with citations to approximately 2500 references. Written by a team of 14 experts, the book is abundantly illustrated, and provides historical perspective as well as current data.

From the reviews of the third edition:
"The 3rd edition of the Multiple Bonds between Metal Atoms deals with one of the most active fields of inorganic chemistry ? . It presents an extensive, critical review and discussion of preparations, reactions, bonding, and physical properties of more than 4000 compounds ? . I heartily recommend it to inorganic and materials chemists, and to all scientists concerned with the synthesis, spectroscopy, and structures of transition-metal compounds. It also belongs in academic, industrial, and government research libraries." (George B. Kauffman, Angewandte Chemie, Vol. 46 (15), 2007)
