Structural Methods in Inorganic Chemistry, Second Edition is the completely revised and updated version of the successful, first edition text. It is designed to help readers interpret experimental data, understand the material published in modern journals of inorganic chemistry, and make decisions about what techniques will be the most useful in solving particular structural problems. Topics addressed include time scales of physical methods, relative advantages and disadvantages of those methods, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and rotational and vibrational spectroscopy. The book also utilizes well-chosen research examples to illustrate the use of the techniques in real research publications. Structural Methods in Inorganic Chemistry makes a strong connection between theoretical topics and the real world of practicing chemists.What's new in the second edition?The Second Edition of Structural Methods in Inorganic Chemistry has been completely revised and updated, featuring new developments in nuclear magnetic resonance and electronic spectroscopy; the addition of more recent case histories; and many new problems throughout the text. Some of the problems are numerical, others involve interpretations of data or logical analysis, while others are meant to start discussions. Answers are given to odd numbered problems, although sets of solutions and comments on the even numbered problems are available to course instructors.A series of worked examples are also included in the text to supplement the case histories. They are intended to illustrate the applications of the particular techniques to real chemical problems, and most of them are drawn from recent chemical literature.
