I like it. Personal communication from Prof. Roald Hoffmann who received the 1981 Nobel prize for his work on the orbital symmetry interpretation of chemical reactions. I ntriguing, stimulating and of much interest and at 30 it is an absolute bargain. I do not know of any other textbook or other work in which the many different combination possibilities of Lewis acids and Lewis bases are treated so thoroughly and systematically as they are here.
Details become only details, and yet precision is maintained throughout.
As a graduate student, I was somewhat confused. My thesis was designated as being in the area of inorganic chemistry. However, when pressed to be more precise, I could never decide whether what I was doing was better described as coordination or organometallic chemistry. I was synthesising palladium and platinum compounds of sterically demanding tertiary phosphines, and then allowing, or forcing, these bound ligands to undergo cyclometallation, thereby forming direct metal-carbon bonds. That confusion of mine has been alleviated, finally, after about 15 years.
