Introduction To Coordination Chemistry Paperback

Geoffrey A. Lawrance

Introduction to Coordination Chemistry examines and explains how metals and molecules that bind as ligands interact, and the consequences of this assembly process. This book describes the chemical and physical properties and behavior of the complex assemblies that form, and applications that may arise as a result of these properties. Coordination complexes are an important but often hidden part of our world even part of us and what they do is probed in this book.
