Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry (CCC), published in 1987, was intended to give a contemporary
overview of the field. The goal was to provide both a convenient first source of

In Comprehensive Coordination Chemistry II (CCC2) we have adopted the same general approach.
Developments in coordination chemistry since 1982 are surveyed in an authoritative and critical
manner taking into account important new trends in biology, materials science, and other areas
