This book is an eminently readable introduction to the structure of transition metal chemistry. By virtue of its non-mathematical and strongly visual approach to bonding, it provides a most accessible text on the varied nature of the valence shell in d- block chemistry.
Topics covered include
* the stability and reactivity of transition metals in their various oxidation states.
* spectroscopic and magnetic properties and their implications for chemical bonding in the transition metal series.
* the changing roles of d electrons with respect to oxidation state.
Additional details and special topics are discussed in boxed sections within the text. This book will be invaluable to students and instructors alike for its non-mathematical, yet thoughtful, account of key concepts and as a source of explanations and references to sources of further information
