Metal Dihydrogen and s-Bond Complexes

This volume is an account of 20th-century work in the area of sigma complexation. It covers not only Kubas' discovery of dihydrogen coordination and the study of its structure and general properties, but also discusses both the theoretical beliefs and experimental results of bonding and activation of dihydrogen on metal centres and the co-ordination and activation of C--H, B--H, X--H, and X--Y bonds.
