Coordination Chemistry

Suitable for graduate students, master courses and postdocs, this is the first textbook to discuss the whole range of contemporary coordination chemistry. It has been thoroughly reviewed by leading textbook authors, and the concept already proven by the successful Spanish edition.
After an introduction, the book covers in a clearly ordered manner structure and bonding, supramolecular coordination chemistry, electronic properties and electron transfer.
Set to become the standard for years to come.Die Koordinationschemie ist eines der wichtigsten und dynamischsten Teilgebiete der Anorganischen Chemie. Für Bachelor- und Masterstudenten gehört sie zum Pflichtprogramm. So ist der Band für sie, aber auch für Biochemiker von großem Interesse. "Coordination Chemistry" ist das erste Lehrbuch, das das gesamte Fachgebiet in den Blick nimmt. Sein Autor ist Professor für Anorganische Chemie an der Universität von Barcelona. Er verfügt über 30 Jahre Erfahrung in der Vermittlung von Angewandter und Theoretischer Anorganischer Chemie, mit dem Schwerpunkt Koordinationschemie. Joan Ribas kann auf mehr als 150 Veröffentlichungen verweisen. Er ist u. a. Autor des Lehrbuchs "Química de Coordinacíon".
Klar gegliedert behandelt "Coordination Chemistry" Struktur und Bindung, supramolekulare Koordinationschemie, Elektroneneigenschaften und Elektronentransfer. Koordinationsverbindungen sind die wichtigsten und erfolgreichsten Katalysatoren in der chemischen und pharmazeutischen Industrie.

Biocoordination Chemistry "With more than thirty years of experience in science and teaching, Joan Ribas aims to treat not only the traditional aspects that have shaped the field of coordination chemistry for decades, but also the modern approaches and topics like supramolecular and biocoordination chemistry, photochemistry and crystal engineering." (Chimie Nouvelle, March 2010) Joan Ribas is Professor for Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Barcelona. He is well-known in the scientific community and has 30 years of teaching experience in applied and theoretical inorganic chemistry, especially coordination chemistry. He has published more than 150 publications in this scientific field and written the textbook "Quimica de coordinacion". Although coordination chemistry is one of the most important topics in inorganic chemistry, a modern textbook has been lacking for years. With more than thirty years of experience in science and teaching, Joan Ribas aims to treat not only the traditional aspects that have shaped the field of coordination chemistry for decades, but also the modern approaches and topics like supramolecular and bio-coordination chemistry, photochemistry and crystal engineering.

The clear and concise concept makes this advanced textbook easy to read and easy to understand. Tedious mathematical or quantum mechanical equations are only utilized when absolutely necessary. This helps graduate and postgraduate students focus on the essentials and guarantees successful courses and exams.
