Orbital Interactions in Chemistry cover

Explains the underlying structure that unites all disciplinesin chemistry

Now in its second edition, this book explores organic,organometallic, inorganic, solid state, and materials chemistry,demonstrating how common molecular orbital situations arisethroughout the whole chemical spectrum. The authors explore therelationships that enable readers to grasp the theory thatunderlies and connects traditional fields of study withinchemistry, thereby providing a conceptual framework with which tothink about chemical structure and reactivity problems.

Orbital Interactions in Chemistry begins by developingmodels and reviewing molecular orbital theory. Next, the bookexplores orbitals in the organic-main group as well as in solids.Lastly, the book examines orbital interaction patterns that occurin inorganic-organometallic fields as well as clusterchemistry, surface chemistry, and magnetism in solids.

This Second Edition has been thoroughly revised andupdated with new discoveries and computational tools since thepublication of the first edition more than twenty-five years ago.Among the new content, readers will find:
* Two new chapters dedicated to surface science and magneticproperties
* Additional examples of quantum calculations, focusing oninorganic and organometallic chemistry
* Expanded treatment of group theory
* New results from photoelectron spectroscopy

Each section ends with a set of problems, enabling readers totest their grasp of new concepts as they progress through the text.Solutions are available on the book's ftp site.

Orbital Interactions in Chemistry is written for bothresearchers and students in organic, inorganic, solid state,materials, and computational chemistry. All readers will discoverthe underlying structure that unites all disciplines inchemistry.

"This book can be viewed as a unique and rather complete'encyclopaedia' of the chemical applications ofmolecular orbital theory." (Applied OrganometallicChemistry,1 November 2014)
