The Chemistry of Inorganic Ring Systems

The present volume considers the most recent developments in the chemistry of cyclic inorganic and organoelement compounds. Nineteen of the 22 chapters are based on invited and other lectures presented at the 6th International Symposium on Inorganic Ring Systems held in Berlin on August 18-22, 1991.

Main group compounds dominate the content from boron via carbon, silicon, germanium, tin, nitrogen, phosphorus and arsenic, to sulfur and selenium. The book is organized by element, moving from left to right in the main groups of the Periodic Table, followed by one chapter each on bonding and nomenclature of ring molecules. The list of contributors comprises distinguished scientists from 8 countries.

...all contributions are clear and well presented. ...can be recommended to chemists working in the field of main-group chemistry who will find much to whet their appetites for ring compounds.
Journal of Molecular Structure
...provides an outstanding survey of inorganic ring chemistry and will prove invaluable to graduate students or research workers in this area of academia.
Coordination Chemistry Reviews
...will be of significant use as a reference to those working in the field of inorganic rings, clusters, or polymers and to the larger community of inorganic chemists as well.
Journal of the American Chemical Society
...represents an excellent survey of a great deal of the current literature on inorganic ring systems and is highly recommended.
