Coordination Chemistry Fundamentals Series – serie

New to coordination chemistry and looking for some straightforward resources? In this long-established field of science, developments have continued between disciplines. Thus, modern coordination chemistry is recognized as an interdisciplinary molecular science that has developed at the intersection of inorganic and organic chemistry. Translated from the original Japanese, this accessible book is for undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers new to coordination chemistry. It explores transition metal complexes involving d and f orbitals and is structured as a step-by-step guide. It starts with the basics, as the foundation of the topic, progressing in complexity to explain some of the recent interdisciplinary developments. Important analytical methods related to the contents are introduced for completeness. You need look no further for concise and easy-to-understand explanations of coordination chemistry.

Various types of physical measurements are available for the study of metal complexes. In pursuing the chemical and physical properties of metal complexes, it is necessary first to clarify what you want to know about and then select the most suitable measurements. To understand the experimental data obtained, it is essential to comprehend ligand field theory and a wide range of fundamental chemistry, such as quantum chemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium theory, analytical chemistry, surface chemistry, and solid-state physics. This set comprises two volumes of English translations of books originally published in Japanese. They are translated by the original authors with a full verification process. They describe the principles and practical methods of physical measurements and the fundamental theories for understanding the data obtained. The instrumental analyses dealt with cover measurements of solid, liquid, and gaseous states, as well as surface analysis. As a key resource for graduate students and researchers in coordination chemistry and its complementary interdisciplinary fields, the books are also an excellent reference for experienced researchers.

Designed for teaching, this English translation of the tried and tested Organometallic Chemistry 2/e textbook from the Japan Society of Coordination Chemistry can be used as an introductory text for chemistry undergraduates and also provide a bridge to more advanced courses. The book is split into two parts, the first acts as a concise introduction to the field, explaining fundamental organometallic chemistry. The latter covers cutting edge theories and applications, suitable for further study.Beginning with fundamental reaction patterns concerning bonds between transition metals and carbon atoms, the authors show how these may be combined to achieve a desired reaction and/or construct a catalytic cycle. To understand the basics and make effective use of the knowledge, numerous practice questions and model answers to encourage the reader’s deeper understanding are included.The advanced section covers the chemistry relating to bonds between transition metals and main group elements, such as Si, N, P, O and S, is described. This chemistry has some similarities to transition metal-carbon chemistry, but also many differences and unique aspects, which the book explains clearly.Organometallic complexes are now well known and widely used. In addition, transition metal complexes with main group element other than carbon as a ligating atom are becoming more important. It is thus important to have a bird’s-eye view of transition metal complexes, regardless of the ligand type. This book acts as solid introduction for chemistry students and newcomers in various fields who need to deal with transition metal complexes.
