Physical Inorganic Chemistry

摘要

The two-volume work Physical Inorganic Chemistry, edited by Andreja Bakac, contains 22 contributions altogether. The first volume, Principles, Methods, and Models, is devoted to the fundamentals, whereas the second one, Reactions, Processes, and Applications, is concerned with different kinds of chemical reactions.The chosen title, Physical Inorganic Chemistry, could in principle be understood in either of two senses. The first possible approach consists of describing the analytical methods of physical inorganic chemistry and discussing on that basis its applications to inorganic questions. A book that provides a general treatment of the physical chemical aspects of inorganic chemistry is expected to be a complement to standard textbooks of physical chemistry, by beginning where standard textbooks end. In particular, the treatment of methods and techniques and the underlying theory should be continued and deepened, and the examples should come from the area of inorganic chemistry.
