Summary

Covering all the latest developments, and applying the theory of electronic structure to problem solving at every opportunity, Electronic Structure and Properties of Transition Metal Compounds places the reader at the cutting edge of this important field of research. The book focuses on the electronic structure and related properties of coordination compounds, essentially treating chemical bonding as an electronic phenomenon. It also covers the central concepts of quantum chemistry and atomic states, examines theories of electronic structure and vibronic coupling, and explores physical methods of investigation. The applications of the theory to stereochemistry and crystal chemistry, electron transfer and electron-conformational effects, and reactivity and catalytic action are also discussed.
