Metal-Ligand Interactions

The emphasis in this volume is on problems related to crossing the boundary from molecular systems to nano, macro and micro-scale materials and to the effects of the environment on the properties of the molecular systems. The following fields are discussed: metal clusters; inorganic complexes and materials; surface phenomena; adsorption and catalysis; organic and bioorganic systems; ab initio theory; density functional theory; and classical and quantum dynamics. The book presents a broad view of theoretical, experimental and applied findings in all fields in which the metal-ligand interaction plays a significant role.
