Transition Metal Chemistry: The Valence Shell in d-Block Chemistry

This book is an eminently readable introduction to structure and bonding in transition metal chemistry. Owing to its non- mathematical and highly visual approach, it is one of the most accessible texts on the role of the valence shell in d-block chemistry. Topics covered include stability and reactivity of transition metal compounds in their various oxidation states spectroscopic properties magnetic properties Additional details and special topics are discussed in boxed sections within the text. This book will be invaluable to students and instructors alike for its non-mathematical account of key concepts and as a source of explanations and references to sources of further information.Malcolm Gerloch is the author of 'Transition Metal Chemistry: The Valence Shell in d-Block Chemistry' with ISBN 9783527292196 and ISBN 3527292195.
