Cryosynthesis of coordination and organometallic compounds: History and present state

Interactions of metals with inorganic and organic ligands including polymer s are reviewed. Direct methods of synthesis have many possibilities in comp arison to conventional synthetic methods. However, cryosyntheses with chela te-forming ligands have not been sufficiently developed at the present time . Cryosynthesis is especially recommended for preparation of compounds diff icult to obtain by traditional methods.
