What is Preface about?

Malcolm has made numerous outstanding contributions to the field of organometallic chemistry, beginning with his first publication in 1958 on "Bis-cyclopentadienylrhenium hydride", resulting from his Ph.D. thesis, entitled "A study of some transition metal hydrides and olefin complexes." To date, he has published more than 400 papers describing synthetic, structural, and mechanistic aspects of the chemistry of virtually every transition element. In view of the great breadth and success of Malcolm's research, it is difficult to single out a specific accomplishment that deserves highlighting over others. Nevertheless, some of the topics that immediately come to mind when prompted by the name Malcolm Green include: (i) the now infamous molybdenocene and tungstenocene systems; (ii) his fundamental studies on alpha-and beta-hydrogen migratory insertion, carbon-hydrogen bond activation, and agostic interactions; and (iii) his development of multigram-scale metal vapour synthesis techniques. Malcolm never stands still and is constantly moving into new and exciting areas: e.g. organometallic intercalation compounds, organometallic chemistry of fullerenes, and most recently, the chemistry o
