"…I reviewed this important book with a great deal of personal interest. I was not disappointed…" (MRS Bulletin, November 2005)

"...a superb book that gives a broad overview of alkyne science. It is well suited and almost mandatory reading for researchers, professors, and graduate students who have an interest in alkyne chemistry. It is an excellent investment for every personal library. I will buy at least two additional copies of this really important book: one for my group and one for my bedside table, to be able to take an in-depth look at the exciting possibilities of alkyne chemistry." (Advanced Materials)

"The book should be available in every library concerned with these fields. The verdict: strongly recommended." (Angewandte Chemie I.E.)
