50 Years of Structure and Bonding – The Anniversary Volume

Más información sobre el libro

The series covers the entire Periodic Table, addressing structure and bonding issues for all elements while highlighting modern structural and theoretical chemistry developments, including nanostructures, molecular electronics, and supramolecular structures. It emphasizes physical and spectroscopic techniques used to model and examine structures, focusing on scientific results rather than technical details. The series also explores bonding models and generalizations that clarify reactivity pathways and rates of chemical processes. 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 a topic within the volume's context, showcasing significant developments from the past 5 to 10 years through selected examples. While not exhaustive in data, the focus is on conceptual understanding of new principles, making the material accessible to non-specialists. Descriptions of the physical basis of experimental techniques may be included if not extensively covered elsewhere. Discussions on potential future research directions are encouraged, and volume editors invite review articles for each installment.
