INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - II

In the preparation of second edition of book entitled Inorganic Chemistry-II, the authors were interested to make the subject matter more elaborate and explainatory which would reflect the present state of knowledge without making great charges in the method of presentation. The order of presentation has been changed in order to bring different aspects of the main topics into a logical relation to each other. The choice of topics discussed in this book is arbitrary to some extent. Some new chapters such as Organometallic Compounds, Mo..ssbauer Spectroscopy, Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy and Ion Exchange have been added in this edition. Some new topics have been accomodated in chapters discussed earlier. Interest in Organometallic Chemistry is being increased in recent times as its role in homogeneous catalysis. Organometallic catalysis will become increasingly important in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, agriculturals, fragnances, semiconductors, ceramic precursors and other fields also. Organometallic compounds, its preparation, properties and structures i.e., s -bonded and p-bonded are described in detail. Spectroscopic techniques such as Mo..ssbauer and Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy have been added in this edition due to their significance in the study of compounds. Questions are being added at the end of each chapter to make the book more competition oriented. We have tried to minimise the printing mistakes.
