Book Description:
The Inorganic Chemistry: A Textbook series reflects the pivotal role of modern inorganic and [FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]physical [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]chemistry[/FONT][/FONT] in a whole range of emerging areas, such as materials chemistry, green chemistry and bioinorganic chemistry, as well as providing a solid grounding in established areas such as solid state chemistry, coordination chemistry, main group chemistry and physical [FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]inorganic [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]chemistry[/FONT][/FONT]
Lanthanide and Actinide Chemistry is a one-volume account of the Lanthanides (including scandium and yttrium), the Actinides and the Transactinide elements, intended as an introductory treatment for undergraduate and [FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]postgraduate[/FONT][/FONT]students. The principal features of these elements are set out in detail, enabling clear comparison and contrast with the [FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]Transition[/FONT][/FONT]Elements and Main Group metals.
The book covers the extraction of the elements from their ores and their purification, as well as the synthesis of the man-made elements; the properties of the elements and principal binary compounds; detailed accounts of their coordination chemistry and organometallic chemistry, from both preparative and structural viewpoints, with a clear explanation of the factors responsible for the[FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]adoption[/FONT][/FONT] of particular coordination numbers; spectroscopy and magnetism, especially for the lanthanides, with case studies and accounts of applications in areas like [FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]magnetic [/FONT][/FONT][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]resonance[/FONT][/FONT] imaging,[FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif][FONT=arial,helvetica,clean,sans-serif]lasers[/FONT][/FONT] and luminescence; nuclear separations and problems in waste disposal for the radioactive elements, particularly in the context of plutonium.
Latest developments are covered in areas like the synthesis of the latest man-made elements, whilst there is a whole chapter on the application of lanthanide compounds in synthetic organic chemistry. End-of-chapter questions suitable for tutorial discussions are provided, whilst there is a very comprehensive bibliography providing ready access to further reading on all topics
