Description:	The chemistry of compounds containing metal-metal bonds is one of the most rapidly developing areas of modern coordination chemistry. At this time, virtually all the transition elements are known to form homo- or heterodinuclear compounds with metal-metal bonds that may be of integral (1, 2, 3, 4) or fractional order (•£, 1|, 2i, 3|). There are also large classes of cluster compounds ranging from polynuclear metal carbonyls and other organometallics to polynuclear metal halides, oxides, and chal- conides that contain delocalized metal-metal bonds. Much of the initial interest in these compound structures, bonding, and electronic properties. However, there is now a growing recognition that the reactivity patterns associated with these compounds will provide a rich and fruitful field of research. This volume is based on the first ACS-sponsored symposium devoted to this topic. The authors, through their research interests and findings, present a survey of the types of reactivity that presently have been established. These include metal-metal bond rupture and formation, photolysis, substitution, oxidative-addition, reductive-elimination, oligomerization, and template reactions. No doubt this group of reactions will be further elaborated upon in the future and new modes of reactivity will be discovered. Truly, compounds containing metal-metal bonds offer new dimensions and oppor- tunities for reactivity.
