Modern Inorganic Chemistry: Bonding, Reactions, and Coordination offers a systematic exploration of the fundamental and applied aspects of inorganic chemistry. The book is structured around three core themes:
Bonding: Atomic structure, periodic trends, ionic and covalent bonding, metallic bonding, Lewis acid-base concepts, molecular orbital theory, and ligand field theory.
Reactions: Acid–base and redox reactions, reaction mechanisms in inorganic systems, thermodynamics and kinetics of inorganic processes, and applications in catalysis and materials science.
Coordination Chemistry: Coordination compounds, isomerism, bonding theories (Crystal Field Theory, Ligand Field Theory, and Molecular Orbital approaches), stability, reactivity, and their roles in bioinorganic and industrial systems.
Special attention is given to the spectrochemical series, electronic transitions, and magnetic properties, providing readers with a modern understanding of coordination complexes. The text also highlights applications in catalysis, medicine, nanomaterials, and environmental chemistry, demonstrating the relevance of inorganic principles in today’s scientific and technological challenges.
