Inorganic Chemistry: Reactions, Structures and Mechanisms

Inorganic chemistry is that branch of chemistry that studies the properties and synthesis of inorganic and organometallic compounds. Such compounds can be classed into several groups based on their properties such as coordination compounds, transition metal compounds, organometallic compounds, bioinorganic compounds, etc. Some of the technological tools generally applied in inorganic chemistry are X-ray crystallography, electrochemistry, dual polarization interferometry and spectroscopy. The study of inorganic chemistry is of relevance in material science, coating, medicine, agriculture, the chemical industry, etc. This book elucidates new techniques and applications of inorganic chemistry in a multidisciplinary manner. Some of the diverse topics covered in this book address the varied aspects of reactions, structures and mechanisms that fall under this discipline. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of inorganic chemistry, as easy and informative as possible, for the readers.
