Author Description

<p>An integrated approach to inorganic chemistry that provides students with a unified and contemporary view of the field.</p> <br/> <br/><p>Highlighting modern research and real-life applications, Inorganic Chemistry takes a one-of-a-kind approach to a difficult and dense subject.</p> <br/> <br/><p>The book provides a unified and contemporary view of the field, including coverage of group theory, magnetism, and bioinorganic chemistry, along with its robust problem-solving feature. A comprehensive and up-to-date resource, Inorganic Chemistry's unique approach to combining core topics in this area results in a highly accessible textbook appropriate for mid- to upper-level students.</p> <br/> <br/><p>Key features</p> <br/><p>- An integrated approach: The text presents a set of core models, such as VSEPR, Valence Bond Theory, and Ligand Field Theory, to show how these can be applied in different ways.</p> <br/><p>- Highlights modern research: Examples, applications, and references introduce students to current perspectives and recent scholarship in the field.</p> <br/><p>- Teaches projection operators with group theory: Teaches these subjects together, thereby making clear the connection between symmetry and molecular orbital theory.</p> <br/><p>- Highlights magnetism: The central role of magnetism is highlighted, a unique feature of this text.</p> <br/><p>- Offers comprehensive coverage of bioinorganic chemistry through both a stand-alone chapter on the topic as well as integrated examples throughout the text.</p> <br/><p>- Robust problem-solving package that includes numerous in-chapter worked examples and extensive end-of-chapter problem sets. EOC problems consistently refer to the primary literature.</p> <br/><p>- Simple, clear illustrations in full color that help students visualize complex chemical reactions and concepts.</p> <br/><p>- A comprehensive resource: Written for mid- to upper-level courses in inorganic chemistry, the text includes many topics not cover
