Foundations : concepts in chemical bonding and stereochemistry -- pt. 2. Advanced topics-1 : introduction to ligands and metal complexes -- pt. 3. Advanced topics-2 : electronic spectra, clusters & isolobal fragments -- pt. 4. Avanced topics-3 : organometallic chemistry and catalysis -- pt. 5. Advanced topics-4 : bioinorganic chemistry and applications N2 - This book explores inorganic chemistry, connecting key topics with actual experiences in nature and everyday life. It begins with a focus on the shapes (geometry) dictating intermolecular forces of attractions, leading to reactivity between molecules of different shapes, and provides coverage from the foundations of chemical bonds and stereochemistry to advanced topics, such as organometallic, bioinorganic, carboranes, and environmental chemistry ER -
