This book is a revised and updated English edition of a textbook that has grown out of several years of teaching. The term "inorganic" is used in a broad sense as the book covers the structural chemistry of representative elements (including carbon) in the periodic table, organometallics, coordination polymers, host-guest systems and supramolecular assemblies. Part I of the book reviews the basic bonding theories, including a chapter on computational chemistry. Part II introduces point groups and space groups and their chemical applications. Part III comprises a succinct account of the structural chemistry of the elements in the periodic table. It presents structure and bonding, generalizations of structural trends, crystallographic data, as well as highlights from the recent literature.
Advanced Structural Inorganic Chemistry is the best text on structural inorganic chemistry that I have seen. It is logically laid out, easy to read and follow, and comprehensive. [...] I highly recommend this book for graduate level solid state structure courses. The breadth and depth of the material is unparalleled. * Peter M. Smith, J. Chem. Educ. 2011 *
In summary, the readers will find the many aspects of this book - a comprehensive textbook about chemical bonds, group theory and crystallography, descriptive and supramolecular inorganic chemistry - to be very useful. It is an important text for teaching inorganic chemistry. * Coordination Chemistry Reviews *
This book should be on the shelves of all laboratories or libraries that support teaching or research that relies upon structural inorganic chemistry. * Crystallography Reviews *
