D-Block Chemistry

Many students find the array of structural types displayed by d-block metal complexes somewhat bewildering when they encounter them for the first time. This primer uses a consistent approach of describing various molecular structures in order to overcome this problem.

Many students find the array of structural types displayed by d-block metal complexes somewhat bewildering when they encounter them for the first time. In this primer, Mark Winter uses clear text and consistently presented molecular structures to help overcome this problem and to provide a concise text for first courses in transition metal chemistry. The clear progression of chemistry employed lays the foundations for more advanced courses at a later date.
