Progress in Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 54 (eBook)

The cutting edge of scientific reporting . . .

PROGRESS in Inorganic Chemistry

Nowhere is creative scientific talent busier than in the world of
inorganic chemistry experimentation. Progress in Inorganic
Chemistry continues in its tradition of being the most respected
avenue for exchanging innovative research. This series provides
inorganic chemists and materials scientists with a forum for
critical, authoritative evaluations of advances in every area of
the discipline. With contributions from internationally renowned
chemists, this latest volume offers an in-depth, far-ranging
examination of the changing face of the field, providing a
tantalizing glimpse of the emerging state of the science.

"This series is distinguished not only by its scope and breadth,
but also by the depth and quality of the reviews."

-Journal of the American Chemical Society

"[This series] has won a deservedly honored place on the bookshelf
of the chemist attempting to keep afloat in the torrent of original
papers on inorganic chemistry."

-Chemistry in Britain
