A. G. Sharpe Livres

Now in its fourth edition, this well-respected international textbook is designed primarily for students but also serves as a valuable reference for professionals in inorganic chemistry. It offers a clearly written and beautifully illustrated introduction to core physical-inorganic principles and the descriptive chemistry of elements, emphasizing the relevance of inorganic chemistry in everyday life. The text covers catalysis, industrial processes, bioinorganic chemistry, and nanotechnology, incorporating the latest advances in these areas. A new chapter on experimental techniques, along with numerous worked examples and exercises, illustrates a broad range of applications in inorganic chemistry. The striking full-colour design features three-dimensional molecular and protein structures, enticing students to explore the subject. Environmental issues, biological connections, and practical applications are highlighted through topic boxes, enhancing the appreciation of inorganic chemistry's importance. A strong pedagogic approach includes step-by-step worked examples, self-study exercises, and end-of-chapter problems that reinforce learning. Definitions panels and checklists serve as excellent revision aids, while further reading suggestions encourage deeper exploration. The Companion Website offers additional resources, including multiple-choice questions and rotatable 3-D molecular structures. A "Solutions Manual" with detaile

This 1968 volume contains a number of authoritative accounts in many areas of organic chemistry. Volatile compounds and elements of groups III and IV of the periodic table and fluorine compounds receive particular attention, but aspects of general structural chemistry, organometallic compounds, metal-metal bonding, non-aqueous solutions, coordination compounds and solid state chemistry are also covered by specialists. Each chapter was an important review and a stimulus to workers in its field. The book as a whole is a valuable survey of the scope and methods of inorganic chemistry of this time. The contributors are all former students of Professor Emeléus and this book was devoted to him on the occasion of his 65th birthday. It includes a brief account of his scientific career and achievements by the editors of the volume.
