More About This Title Integrated Approach to Coordination Chemistry: AnInorganic Laboratory Guide
English
This book offers a series of investigative inorganic laboratories approached through systematic coordination chemistry. It not only highlights the key fundamental components of the coordination chemistry field, it also exemplifies the historical development of concepts in the field.
In order to graduate as a chemistry major that fills the requirements of the American Chemical Society, a student needs to take a laboratory course in inorganic chemistry. Most professors who teach and inorganic chemistry laboratory prefer to emphasize coordination chemistry rather than attempting to cover all aspects of inorganic chemistry; because it keeps the students focused on a cohesive part of inorganic chemistry, which has applications in medicine, the environment, molecular biology, organic synthesis, and inorganic materials.

"Even coordination chemists who already know everything … can benefit from this book as a source of inspiration...Not many textbooks can claim to have achieved that and to deserve the label "surprising"." (Angewandte Chemie International Edition, January 2008)
