Inorganic Structural Chemistry, Second Edition By Dr. rer. nat. Ulrich Muller(auth.)
2006 | 278 Pages | ISBN: 047001864X | PDF | 12 MB
The essential introduction to the understanding of the structure of inorganic solids and materials. This revised and updated 2nd Edition looks at new developments and research results within Structural Inorganic Chemistry in a number of ways, special attention is paid to crystalline solids, elucidation and description of the spatial order of atoms within a chemical compound. Structural principles of inorganic molecules and solids are described through traditional concepts, modern bond-theoretical theories, as well as taking symmetry as a leading principle.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (page 1): Chapter 2 Description of Chemical Structures (pages 2-11): Chapter 3 Symmetry (pages 12-29): Chapter 4 Polymorphism and Phase Transitions (pages 30-38): Chapter 5 Chemical Bonding and Lattice Energy (pages 39-44): Chapter 6 The Effective Size of Atoms (pages 45-51): Chapter 7 Ionic Compounds (pages 52-61): Chapter 8 Molecular Structures I: Compounds of Main Group Elements (pages 62-72): Chapter 9 Molecular Structures II: Compounds of Transition Metals (pages 73-84): Chapter 10 Molecular Orbital Theory and Chemical Bonding in Solids (pages 85-102): Chapter 11 The Element Structures of the Nonmetals (pages 103-117): Chapter 12 Diamond?Like Structures (pages 118-127): Chapter 13 Polyanionic and Polycationic Compounds.
