The role of stereochemistry to elucidate reaction patterns and physico-chemical properties in topical subjects ranging from inorganic to organic chemistry are treated in this fifth and final volume of the series. Detailed accounts are given of crystal chemistry of cyclophosphates; stereochemical aspects of the redox propensity of homometal carbonyl clusters; preparation, properties, and stereochemical aspects of inclusion compounds of organometallic complexes with cyclodextrins; metal-nitroxyl interactions as probes of stereochemistry; recent developments in stereocontrol via arenetricarbonylchromium complexes; and the stereochemistry of palladium catalyzed cyclization reactions.
