This textbook offers over 400 problems and solutions in structural inorganic chemistry for senior undergraduates and beginning graduates. It is an updated companion text to Advanced Structural Inorganic Chemistry by the same authors. The new edition adds over 100 new problems and three new chapters on metal compounds and bioinorganic chemistry.
- Provides over 400 problems and their solutions, covering a wide range of topics in structural inorganic chemistry including Atomic and Molecular Electronic States, Hybrid Orbitals, Molecular Orbital Theory, Vibrational Spectroscopy, and Crystal Structure
- Addresses a wide variety of disciplines, from quantum mechanics to bioinorganic chemistry, and levels, from fundamental to application
- Many of the problems are open-ended and answers provided lead to further studies
- Individual reference citations for about 150 problems
- Appendices serve as teaching material
- Problems can easily be modified by teachers and adapted to the level and emphasis of their courses
- Accompanies the authors’ textbook Advanced Structural Inorganic Chemistry (OUP 2008)
New to this edition
- Over 100 new problems added
- New chapters on Transition Metal Chemistry, Metal Clusters: Bonding and Reactivity, and Bioinorganic Chemistry
- A new Chapter 2, “Introductory Quantum Chemistry,” groups previous questions on “particle-in-a-box” and “particle-on-a-ring” together with new questions.
- Includes a new appendix, “Selected Topics in Bioinorganic Chemistry”
