A series of advanced treatises under the general editorship of Professor Saul Patai... 

Sadly, Saul Patai who founded The Chemistry of Functional Groups series died in 1998, just after we started to work on the 100th volume of the series. As a long-term collaborator and co-editor of many volumes of the series, I undertook the editorship and this is the second volume to be edited since Saul Patai passed away. I plan to continue editing the series along the same lines that served for the first hundred volumes and I hope that the continuing series will be a living memorial to its founder. 

The publication of the Organophosphorus Series would never have started without the support of many people. This volume would never have reached fruition without the help of Mr Mitchell and Mrs Perkins with typing and the efficient and patient cooperation of several staff members of the Publisher. Many of my colleagues in England, Israel and elsewhere gave help in solving many problems, especially Professor Saul Patai, without whose continual support and encouragement this work would never have been attempted.
