Introduction to Modern Inorganic Chemistry

This book provides a broad overview of inorganic chemistry, giving a good framework for a thorough understanding of the chemistry of the elements, following the Periodic Table arrangement.

It has been revised to reflect new chemistry developed since the 4th edition was published in 1989 and includes new material on fullerenes, organometallic chemistry and cluster compounds.

A new chapter has been added to cover selected topics in environmental and biological inorganic chemistry.

"What is attractive about this book? First, it provides an exhaustive overview of the fundamental bases of inorganic chemistry. Second, boxes located in the margins or in the middle of pages provide enlightening facts about inorganic chemicals as they relate to everyday lifeI am convinced these linkages between inorganic chemistry and real life are essential for attracting talented young students to the field" - Bernard Meunier, Chemistry International, 2003
