The present volume in the organogermanium series describes mononuclear compounds containing only germanium-carbon and germanium-hydrogen bonds (Chapter 1.3). Germanium hydrides with other additional non-carbon ligands, such as halogen or oxygen bonded groups, appear in later chapters according to the Gmelin principle of the last posi tion. Compounds with Ge-H and Ge-O bonds have already been described in Volume 5, Section 1.5.1.4, pp. 50/62. The present volume covers the literature to the end of 1992 and includes many references up to 1994. The nomenclature recommended by IUPAC has been...

"Organoiron Compounds" 8 13 (present volume) systematicaLLy covers the Literature through the end of 1986, and includes additional references up to 1988. The volume continues Series 8 (volumes 81 to 812 already pubLished) on the mononucle ar organoiron compounds, whereas Series A (volumes A 1 to A8 already pubLished) is de voted to the ferrocenes and Series C (volumes C1 to C5 and C7 already pubLished) treats organoiron compounds with two or more Fe atoms in the molecule. Se ries 8 so far includes mononuclear organoiron compounds as follows: "Eisen-Organische Verbindungen" 8 1 (1976), 82...
