Molecular design in inorganic biochemistry

Más información sobre el libro

The series encompasses the entire Periodic Table, addressing structure and bonding issues for all elements while highlighting modern areas in structural and theoretical chemistry, including nanostructures, molecular electronics, and supramolecular structures. It emphasizes physical and spectroscopic techniques used to determine and model structures, focusing on scientific results rather than technical details. The development of bonding models and generalizations that clarify reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes are also explored. Each volume is thematic, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of emerging insights relevant to a broader scientific audience, whether in academia or industry. Reviews critically survey specific aspects of the topic, contextualizing them within the volume. Significant developments from the past 5 to 10 years are illustrated with selected examples, while a description of the physical basis of experimental techniques may be included if not previously detailed. The coverage is conceptual, prioritizing new principles that help non-specialists understand the data. Future research directions in the field are encouraged, and review articles for individual volumes are invited by the volume editors.
