Perspectives in Coordination Chemistry
ISBN: 3-527-28487-7
Hardcover
486 pages
1998
Description
In the hundred years since Alfred Werner proposed his theory of co-ordination
compounds, co-ordination chemistry has grown to occupy a central position in
chemical science. This book contains a selection of essays illustrating the
state of the subject as its enters its second century. In addition to methods of
synthesizing, studies of structure and reactivity, particular attention is paid
to the applications of co-ordination chemistry in fields as varied as
biochemistry and medicine, organometallic chemistry, solid state chemistry,
catalysis, and molecular receptors and devices.
