DESCRIPTION:
The new edition is aimed at Honors and postgraduate students as well as researchers interested in Main Group elements and their compounds. The second edition follows the same structure as the first except that the biochemistry section has been removed to allow for the inclusion of a wide range of new material. Where relevant, the author indicates where gaps exist in current knowledge and offers non-typical examples which are at the limits of current research. This book examines their synthesis, structure and how they behave chemically. Lately, there has been much interest in the chemistry of Main Group elements with novel compounds being synthesised both in academia and industry. On the first edition - "This is a book I would recommend as background reading for undergraaduates and postgraduates" Education in Chemistry, Chemistry in Britain "This is a sound and sensible book, coherently produced and well written" The Times Higher Educational Supplement. This includes: * complexation and the stabilization of unstable species; * new elements and isotopes; * discussion of, for example, pye-bonding in compounds of the heavier main group elements, electronegativity of F,
"Massey's book is a very reader-friendly aid to gaining a comprehensive understanding of the chemistry of the s- and p-block elements." (Angewandte Chemie - International Edition, Vol.40 No.16, 2001) "In summary, this is a good textbook for the advanced reader." (The Alchemist, 16th March 2001)
A good acquisition Francisco Palacios Not so many books on the chemistry of the main group elements are available out there, but this book provides you a good source of information, which can be complemented with other sources. It focuses on trends that can be seen in many compounds for the main group elements, and alsoit gives you a modest introd
