Abstract
AN X-ray investigation of the structure of the series of compounds carbon-, silicon-, germanium-, tin-, and lead-tetraphenyls, now almost completed, appears to indicate an interesting field of research in the organo-metallic compounds. It is proposed to extend the work to other series of these compounds so that after a time a systematic study may be made of the effects of varying (i.) the element, and (ii.) the groups. In order that this may be attempted, the writer appeals to chemists for the loan of small quantities of any related organo-metallic compounds which may be stable solids in air at ordinary temperatures.
