Acknowledgments. Like editors of previous volumes of this series, I am indebted to many colleagues for contributions to this work. First there are Wolfgang Beck in Munich, Ekkehard Lindner in Tubingen, and John R. Shapley in Urbana, who assisted me in the selections and solicitations for three special collections transition metal complexes containing weakly bonded anions (Chapter 3), metalocyclic complexes (Chapter 4), and polynuclear transition metal complexes (Chapter 5), respectively. Each has contributed a preface for the chapter he helped to form, following the pattern set in Volume XII when Alan G. MacDiarmid invited E. C. Ashby and myself to form a chapter on metal hydrides. As a consequence of such efforts, more than two-thirds of this volume consists of invited preparations. 

The Th4H15 samples were prepared by Cameron Satterthwaite and coworkers (1,2) and consisted of two polycrystalline samples that were determined to be within 1% of the stoichiometric composition, Tn4Hi5 o.i5 The samples differed primarily in the pressure and temperature used in their synthesis. The sample hydrided under lower pressure ana temperature conditions (1 atm of H2 and a temperature cycle initiating at 800° K and dropping to 450° K before removing the H2) is labeled the LP sample, and the one hydrided under higher pressure and temperature (1100° K ana 10,000 psi of H2) is labeled HP. The sample preparation and characterization of this stoichiometric compound is apparently critical since the results of the present study differ significantly from the previous NMR studies (12,13,14), and some difference was detected between the LP and HP samples themselves. The carbonyl hydride samples were furnished kindly by John R. Shapley (20).
