The book is very well-written , with very few typographical or grammatical errors, and the schemes and structures are presented clearly and esthetically.....

Overall, the authors provide clear, competent, and useful coverage of the title compounds. The highly specialized nature of the subject will likely limit the readership of this monograph, but it will prove valuable to individuals with interests in organochalcogen chemistry and is recommended for inclusion in chemistry libraries.
