Index.

"Many may find it rewarding to sample a few chapters that are
relevant to their main interests or just to get an idea of what can
still be done with this 'classic' organometallic molecule."
(Journal of the American Chemical Society, February 4, 2009)

"It will be very useful as a reference source for everyone
involved in research in the rapidly developing field of ferrocene
chemistry." (Angewandte Chemie, September 22, 2008 )
